Manchester Histories: General Manager

Manchester Histories is seeking a highly organised, detail-oriented General Manager to join our passionate team.

In this role, you will bring strong administrative and development skills, along with a knack for implementing efficient systems that support ambitious and engaging histories and heritage projects. We are looking for someone who not only excels in traditional management but also embraces new technologies, like ChatGPT, to make our core work smarter and quicker, enhancing overall efficiency.

While the document outlines the necessary skills and experience, we are looking for someone with a proactive, can-do attitude. Working in a small, grant-funded organisation like ours during challenging times requires resilience and a love for creative problem-solving.

As General Manager, you will be a vital part of our charity, focusing on development, sustainability, reporting, and administration. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being the team’s go-to person, setting up and managing processes that help Manchester Histories run smoothly and effectively. You will play a key role in delivering our new five-year business plan, bringing our mission to life, and advocating for our work and values.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds who bring transferable skills. If you have not worked in the cultural sector before but are eager to contribute to it, this could be the perfect opportunity. Our team is adaptable and dynamic, and we are open to shaping the role to fit the strengths of the right candidate.
