Big Sister Theatre

Job Description

We are launching a free monthly community gathering and we are looking for a creative producer specialising in creative, emotionally intelligent events to help us build the first three.

THE NIGHT

• A free community gathering on Sunday evenings, once a month
• New pieces of writing, about 10 to 15 minutes each
• Electronic music and movement are part of the night
• A format that is new to London, and has worked abroad for over three decades (more info upon application)

• We are aiming for 50 to 100 people each night
• Night 1 is Sunday 17 January, with Nights 2 and 3 following monthly

THE TERMS

• Paid: £2,750 flat fee for the whole contract, paid in instalments
• Budgeted at up to 144 working hours in total, depending on experience. This is not a fixed 9 to 5. You set your own hours, and what matters is that the tasks are completed and the deadlines previously agreed on are met.
• Starting in late November and running to March
• Self employed, mostly remote, plus in person at each monthly night
• A three-night contract, with the possibility of a longer term role if the events go well
• You must be physically present for all 3 nights

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

• We will contact shortlisted candidates only, by Friday 13 November

• You are connected to creatives of many kinds, including writers, actors, musicians and comedians, or know how to reach them
• You thrive in a multicultural environment and are emotionally intelligent

• Build the marketing plan from our starting draft, then carry it out for each night
• Plan, make and publish social media posts in a consistent voice, including short videos edited from footage of the night
• Reach actors, writers and other creatives through networks and communities
• Open free ticketing and build a simple tracker we can both read
• Run the door and the welcome on the night
• Track what works on the marketing side and tell us

• What an emotionally intelligent gathering looks like to you. Tell us about a night you loved, an event you want to build, or what other gatherings could be doing differently (up to 200 words)
• Your CV and links to social accounts you have run, or posts you are proud of, with a line on what happened. A portfolio works too
