FINANCE DIRECTOR

The National Ice Centre and Motorpoint Arena is a unique venue that operates as one of the Top 100 live entertainment and sporting Arenas in the world whilst also delivering its role as a national sporting centre of excellence for 18 hours a day, every day.

If you are willing to throw yourself into the role with the same passion, energy and commitment as the team around you, then it will be one of the best jobs you could ever have in one of the greatest industries there is.

You will work with many of the biggest promoters, agencies, artists, entertainers and events that there are. On one hand you will help to sell millions of Arena tickets and give people memories that will last a lifetime. On the other, you will introduce youngsters to a sport that they may play for 50 years and may even go on to perform in an Olympics or World Championships.

It's cool. It’s fun. It’s hard work. It’s challenging. It’s relentless. It’s occasionally evenings and weekends because that’s when the fun happens.

Is it you?
