The Head of Programming & Creative Producing is a new senior role, working with the Chief Executive to shape and deliver the artistic output of the Philharmonia. The postholder works hand-in-hand with the Head of Artistic Planning, and members of the Executive team to programme and artistically shape traditional concert programmes at various scales and in various contexts, as well as learning and digital projects and pre- or post-concert activities. The postholder also leads on the development and producing of new performance formats for own-promoted concerts. A first-rate creative thinker, you will be passionate about working with conductors, artists and agents to create world-class concert programmes, residencies and series, and will be able to draw on your deep knowledge and understanding of orchestral repertoire, artists, and the wider cultural context, as well as an established network of industry relationships to turn your ideas into reality. Your artistic interests, however, will range beyond the traditional core, and you will be driven by a personal mission to engage different and new audiences with orchestral music, whether that is through music for films or games, cross-artform and cross-genre collaborations, pre-performance debates, schools performances, VR installations, or different performance formats. You will take a producing approach to new performance formats, keenly appreciative of the importance of staging, narrative and flow for contemporary audiences. You know the importance of equality and diversity on stage in building a future for classical music, and are an active champion of creative projects which demonstrate this. Discovering new artists and musical voices will be second nature to you, just as you will be sensitive to the needs of established artists and composers in shaping a project. While your focus is on the quality of the artistic output, you will maintain in-the-round awareness of the complex jigsaw of sometimes competing priorities and restrictions into which any project has to be delivered, including box office and audience development targets.

We bring people together across sectors to co-design support that makes sense locally, building trusted partnerships that last.

You'll listen deeply to families, teachers and community leaders to shape a programme that reflects local strengths and needs. This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role. You'll represent AllChild locally, build strong relationships across the community, and champion the voices of children and young people. You'll lead delivery, safeguarding and partnership development, while contributing to AllChild's national growth and learning. What we seek We are seeking someone who shares our belief that real change for children happens when communities come together. You'll bring energy, empathy and determination, alongside experience of leading programmes for children and young people in education, social care or the voluntary sector You'll be an inspiring and collaborative leader, skilled at building and developing teams, confident in navigating complex local systems and working with senior leaders in schools, local authorities and VCSEs.
