We have an exciting opportunity for a Programme Manager who will be responsible for the operational and financial delivery of the Creative Programme at Central Saint Martins. The Creative Programme sits at the intersection of UAL’s strategy and CSM’s Principles, serving as the platform where ideas meet practice and creativity becomes visible through meaningful exchange. As we move into the next phase of Schools of Thought, the programme becomes not just what we do, but how we lead: a catalyst for collaboration, innovation and connection across culture, education and business audiences.
You will lead the planning, coordination and delivery of every strand of the programme, from the Lethaby Gallery and Window Gallery exhibitions to projects and events. Working closely with the Creative Programme Lead, you will manage budgets and a small team, working collaboratively across the College to ensure continuity and quality delivery of our key deliverables.
We are seeking a dynamic, versatile and experienced Programme Manager who can turn ambitious creative ideas into clear plans, balancing the detail and understanding the bigger picture at the same time.
