Job Summary

Job Description

Please visit our website for full information about this role and instructions for applying - https://www.albanytheatre.co.uk/work-opportunities

Please note - closing date is Sunday June 7th - 1900.

The Albany Theatre is seeking an experienced, organised and audience-focused Theatre Manager to lead the day-to-day operational management of the venue and help shape the next stage of the Albany's development.

This is a varied and hands-on role overseeing:
- venue operations
- front of house and audience experience
- health & safety and compliance
- staffing and volunteers
- commercial and community hires
- operational delivery of performances and events

You will work closely with the Artistic Director, Creative Programmer, technical staff and wider team to ensure the theatre is safe, welcoming, commercially effective and creatively ambitious.

We are looking for someone with:
- experience in venue, events or theatre operations
- strong organisational and leadership skills
- excellent communication and customer service
- knowledge of H&S and compliance
- the ability to remain calm, practical and solutions-focused under pressure.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a growing theatre with a strong community mission and a clear artistic vision.

NB Salary is £30-£35k - the system does not allow us to show that band!

It is a MANAGEMENT role - again, the system does not allow us to choose that option. It has strong creative elements, hence that choice of description.
