We have an exciting full-time, permanent opportunity at the Higher Executive Officer (HEO) grade for Head of Music and Opera, a role that reports directly to the Performing Arts Director.
Role Overview:
The Council's responsibility for Music & Opera extends to supporting a very broad range of styles, with a correspondingly wide audience appeal. Music clients include some of the largest funding relationships in the Council's portfolio – the Council is particularly mindful to balance the requirement to support established music makers with the need to foster and encourage new entrants whose artistic contribution, akin to the Research and Development function within other industries, is essential to ensure the continuous supply of high quality music and opera practice both for present and for the future.
The Head of Music & Opera manages all elements of the Arts Council’s policy formulation, development initiatives, grant and relationship management in Music & Opera; manages and motivates the Music & Opera team; collaborates with the Arts Director, the departmental management team and other staff in the implementation of specific cross-organisational projects to deliver the objectives of Making Great Art Work.
The closing date for receipt of applications is 12.00 noon, Monday 7 April 2025.
