Create bold work. Reach new audiences. Shape the story.

At Nottingham Playhouse, we make theatre that's thrilling, ambitious and rooted in our city. Following our recognition as Theatre of the Year 2025, we're looking for a Senior Marketing Officer to help drive the next chapter of our story-connecting more people with extraordinary work on stage and in the community.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a creative and strategic marketer to take ownership of campaigns, lead digital innovation, and play a central role in how we present ourselves to the world.

About the Role

As Senior Marketing Officer, you'll sit at the heart of our Marketing & Communications team-shaping campaigns, growing audiences, and ensuring every touchpoint reflects our bold, inclusive brand.

You will:

• Lead marketing campaigns for a wide range of productions and projects
• Take ownership of our digital presence, including website and email marketing
• Use data and insight to drive audience growth and income
• Collaborate across teams to deliver impactful, audience-focused campaigns
• Line manage and support the development of a Marketing Apprentice

From major productions to participation programmes, your work will ensure our stories reach the widest and most diverse audiences possible.

You'll bring:

• Experience in arts or cultural marketing (or a similar audience-focused sector)
• A flair for writing engaging copy and storytelling
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects
• A passion for theatre and a commitment to making it accessible to all

You don't need to tick every box-we're looking for potential, curiosity and ambition as much as experience.
