Description

Job Summary

Wysing Arts Centre is looking for a dynamic, resourceful, collaborative and imaginative Marketing and Communications Manager to lead the way in telling our story, across digital, print, press, advertising, and other media.

Job Description

This pivotal new role for the organisation will shape and deliver creative campaigns that raise Wysing's profile, develop existing and new audiences for our artistic and young people's programme, and market new commercial income opportunities including venue hire, ceramics and recording studios, and events. The role comes at a critical point for Wysing as we enter a site-wide capital project focused on accessibility and environmental sustainability, and as we launch a new brand and website.

We don't expect all skills to be in place from day one: instead, we're looking for someone who can take ownership of core marketing activities while developing capacity and leadership in communications and audience development. The role is ideal for someone excited by the opportunity to shape and scale an ambitious communications function within a small and dynamic organisation. A six-month marketing and audience development plan will be in place by the time you start, and you'll play a key role in delivering and refining it.

Job Requirements

  • Strategic and proactive, with the ability to spot opportunities and take initiative.
  • Minimum 3 years' experience in a relevant marketing or communications role, ideally within the arts or cultural sector.

  • Proven ability to plan and deliver effective long- and short-range marketing campaigns that achieve clear outcomes.

  • Strong organisational and planning skills, including managing campaign timelines and related budgets.

  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines across a range of projects and to coordinate activity across teams.

  • Confident in website and digital platform management, with an understanding of SEO and online advertising.

  • Skilled in writing, commissioning and producing content across formats (e.g. copy, image, video) with experience using Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or other design tools.
