The Audiences and Commercial department drives income, grows and diversifies audiences, and promotes the Royal Ballet and Opera’s work across multiple platforms, including live performances, digital content, cinema, and touring. 

We are seeking to recruit a Project Manager to work as a key member of the Studios Delivery team. This role will be responsible for the effective end-to-end management of creative projects and assets. The role spans digital, film and print delivery and will initially have a particular focus on supporting Marketing priorities.

• Experience of managing multiple creative, content, marketing or communications projects through to delivery in a busy, deadline-led environment.
• Practical understanding of digital, film and print production processes.

• Experience of using project or workflow management systems.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to communicate clearly, manage expectations and work effectively with colleagues at all levels.

The Royal Ballet and Opera is one of the UK’s leading arts organisations and our aim is to inspire imagination, ignite emotion and make the extraordinary for everyone. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion underpin all that we do. We want our people to be representative of the diversity in the UK. We understand the creativity and innovation that diversity can bring and strive to create an inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive.

We encourage applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and skills to join our teams. We particularly welcome applications from those who are from a global majority background and/or those who are disabled, as they are under-represented within our organisation.

We are a Disability Confident Employer, which means that we are actively working to ensure that candidates with disabilities and long-term health conditions feel supported, engaged and able to fulfil their potential in the workplace. We will endeavour to offer an interview to candidates who tell us they wish to participate in the scheme and who demonstrate in their application that they meet the essential criteria for the role, though sometimes due to the volume of qualified candidates with declarations this is not possible.
