Job Summary
The King's Head Theatre is seeking an ambitious Artistic Director and Chief Executive to lead the theatre into its next chapter. You will have authority to shape the programme and the organisation, and to create new opportunities for artists and productions to reach audiences beyond the theatre.
Job Description
This is an opportunity to decide what one of London's best-known independent theatres becomes next. You will build on a remarkable history, a distinctive artistic identity and a new building. As the theatre's principal artistic and executive leader, you will be accountable to the Board of Trustees. You will lead the charity in delivering its objectives and build the financial strength that allows its artistic ambitions to grow.
You do not need to have held this exact combination of responsibilities before. Strong candidates may include established artistic directors; senior producers, programmers, executive directors or general managers; entrepreneurial theatre-makers, whether directors, actors or writers; and experienced deputies ready for their first top job. What matters is the quality of your judgement, the strength of your relationships and the ambition you bring to the King's Head.
We welcome joint applications from candidates with complementary skills, for example, an artistic leader and an executive or producing partner applying together to share the role.
