About the Almeida Theatre

The Almeida is a London theatre company with a national and international reputation for producing work of the highest standard - achieving recognition through consistent critical acclaim, increasing national reach, international profile, full houses and breadth of audiences.

Based in Islington, the Almeida Theatre began life as a literary and scientific society - complete with library, lecture theatre and laboratory. We are known for creating brave, ambitious, compelling theatre.

The company has been led for the last twelve years by Artistic Director Rupert Goold and Executive Director Denise Wood who will step down in the new year. Under Rupert's artistic leadership the heart of the Almeida's vision is to make bold work which challenges and questions theatre, and the world we live in; bringing together the most exciting artists to interrogate, provoke, inspire and entertain audiences through new writing and reinvigorated classics. Dominic Cooke will take up the post as the Almeida's Artistic Director in 2026.

In addition to the main repertoire, there is an events programme including live and digital content, a full range of activities for young people, and productions regularly transfer to the West End and beyond.

The Almeida is supported by Arts Council England and raises further income through ticket sales and the support of generous individual givers and corporate sponsors.

About the Role

The Marketing Officer manages the Almeida's website and email communications, and assists the Marketing Manager to deliver creative, and results driven marketing campaigns.

Strategic Priorities

The Marketing & Communications team is crucial to the success of the Almeida's ambitious vision and the strategic priorities for the team include :

• Build and manage the brand of the Almeida Theatre across London, the UK and internationally.
• Take a strategic and data first approach to marketing and promoting the Almeida and its work in order to deliver income targets in excess of £3 million in ticket sales each year.
• Build and diversify the audience who experience our artistic programme and increase engagement levels among those currently least engaged in arts and culture.
• Engage with a significantly bigger audience than current ticket purchasers, curating a cultural conversation predominantly through the creation and distribution of digital content.
• Develop a segmentation strategy for audiences based on insights from our CRM system (Tessitura).
• Generate additional income from growth of the Almeida Membership and the promotion of auxiliary sales.
