From development through to performance and evaluation, the Producer will oversee planning, logistics, budgets and schedules, while supporting creative teams and ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and to the highest artistic and pastoral standards.

Working closely with the artistic and executive teams, the postholder will manage relationships with freelance creatives, partners and venues, maintaining clear communication and continuity across all areas of production. BYMT works on an annual cycle, and not all aspects of the role will need to be fulfilled by the maternity cover.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

Leading the delivery of BYMT's 2027 Season, overseeing budgeting, programming, auditions, staffing, and all production logistics as far as the end of the contract.

Managing key relationships with creatives, venues, and accommodation providers, while ensuring smooth coordination across departments.

Line-managing the Production and Engagement Associate, contracting creative and production teams, maintaining schedules and budgets, mitigating risks, and upholding BYMT's artistic and operational standards.

We expect the role will cover the delivery of the Easter 2027 production, whilst leading on organisational planning for Summer 2027 and contributing to reporting, evaluation, and the ongoing improvement of producing systems and processes.
