What we are looking for
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and collaborative Managing Director to lead Brighton Fringe into its next chapter. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a creative, fast-paced environment and is passionate about supporting artists, venues, and audiences. While experience in festivals or the charity sector would be a real advantage, we warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds who can bring fresh perspectives, strong leadership and a commitment to our values.
Although this role is full-time, we are open to discussing a more flexible working pattern outside the busy festival period – February to June. For the right candidate, a four-day week for part of the year could be possible. If you feel excited and enthused by the idea of shaping one of the UK’s most vibrant open-access arts festivals, we’d love to hear from you.
