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.

Coordinate programme reporting for NCAT, including the preparation of regular updates for senior leadership and governance committees, ensuring accuracy, insight and alignment with organisational goals.

Escalate risks and issues proactively, supporting the development of mitigation strategies to manage impact and maintain programme integrity. Support governance structures, including advisory boards or steering groups, ensuring they are effectively convened, briefed and engaged in programme direction. Build and maintain strong funder and delivery partner relationships, acting as a key link between the Foundation and external partners to support trust, alignment and shared learning. Ensure monitoring, evaluation and learning approaches are embedded, working with internal and external stakeholders to drive continuous improvement and strategic alignment. Contribute to knowledge sharing and insight generation, supporting the dissemination of findings, progress and outcomes from NCAT and related work to maximise external impact. Lead and/or contribute to other projects, programmes or funding activity across the Transport Solutions portfolio, working flexibly in line with team priorities and the expectations of other internal Transport Solutions Manager roles. Collaborate across the Foundation, including with Finance, Legal, Communications, Insight and Evaluation, HR and Data Protection, to ensure high-quality delivery and strong organisational alignment. Your experience: Must haves: Significant experience in programme or project management roles, ideally within complex or multi-stakeholder environments and as a funder. Strong understanding of programme delivery, governance and reporting, with the ability to coordinate multiple workstreams and stakeholders effectively. Excellent organisational and record-keeping skills, with the ability to maintain accurate information for monitoring, reporting and decision-making. Financial literacy, with experience in analysing budgets, monitoring spend and managing financial risks. Experience managing contracts, legal agreements or delivery arrangements with external partners, suppliers or grantees. Strong interpersonal and listening skills, with a relationship-first approach that builds trust and enables collaboration across internal teams and external stakeholders. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, agile, matrix-working environment, adapting to shifting priorities and timelines. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality reports, papers and presentations for senior audiences. Nice to haves: Understanding of managing cross-disciplinary research or systems change activity involving technical, social and user-centred disciplines. Experience managing large-scale grants, programmes or partnerships and holding a primary relationship with external delivery partners.
