Job Opportunity – General Manager (Full Time)
Having recently delivered an ambitious and wide-ranging programme for our 62nd annual edition, Belfast International Arts Festival invites applicants for the key role of General Manager.
Belfast International Arts Festival (BIAF) continues to enhance its reputation as Northern Ireland’s leading annual celebration of contemporary arts and culture. We are known for showcasing world class artists and productions of a high international standard, which reflect and promote both our changing city and the continuing evolution of creative practice from around the world. As such we are widely recognised as both a significant event in Belfast’s cultural calendar and a strategic leader in Northern Ireland’s arts sector.
The General Manager works closely with the Artistic Director & CEO (who curates the artistic programme of the festival) and is a key member of senior management, working year-round to manage and deliver BIAF events and annual Festival. The primary areas of direct responsibility include the management of the company’s finances and administration, relationships with stakeholders and funders, income generation, corporate governance, HR and line management of various staff members.
If you would like to help us fulfil our ambitions, are a strategic thinker, excellent communicator, well organised, and a team player with a track-record of successfully securing funding from statutory, public, trusts and foundations, then we’d like to hear from you.
