Having recently been given ACE National Portfolio status, we are entering into an exciting time here at Buxton Opera House and are seeking an exceptional Artistic Programming Officer to join our team. The postholder will report into the Head of Producing and Artistic Programming supporting them in all activities involved in the smooth running of the Producing and Programming department. This will include supporting the Head of Producing & Programming in securing high quality, diverse and commercially robust range of guest productions, negotiate financial arrangements where appropriate and ensuring there is clear written confirmation and contracts are produced in a timely manner. Being able to foster excellent working relationships with producers and promotors as well as internal stakeholders is key.

Previous theatre or arts experience is not essential, but previous experience of working in an administrative role in a fast-paced changing environment where attention to detail and organisational skills are paramount is essential. You will be an excellent communicator both verbally and in writing with the ability to talk to a number of different stakeholders and be confident issuing contracts and documents on behalf of the Opera House.

We want to employ passionate, hard-working and dedicated individuals who are committed to the future of Buxton Opera House; if this is you, do consider applying to work with us even if you don’t meet all the criteria in job specification – we want to hear from you.
