Job description

Production Manager

Our client is more than just a cultural space; it is a vibrant community hub where creativity thrives, voices are heard, and everyone is welcomed and celebrated. They invite you to join them in their mission to enrich lives through the power of the arts.

Their vision is to empower the undervalued, unheard, and excluded communities through their creative and cultural spaces. They believe in creating a haven where every voice matters, where stories from all walks of life can be shared and celebrated. Their mission is rooted in the rich and influential history of Ovalhouse Theatre, from which they have emerged as a dynamic new cultural hub. They are dedicated to presenting and collaborating with voices and perspectives that are often marginalised in mainstream funded culture.

Their commitment to building a strong connection with their community is reflected in their core values:

• Always be welcoming to their international community
• Be radical and progressive in their thinking and activities
• Be collaborative in their ambitions - nurturing new relationships locally, and beyond Brixton
• Most importantly, always celebrate their unique identity and growing accomplishments

Purpose of the role

The Production Manager plays a key role in delivering all aspects of the production process, coordinating all production activities and operations on time and within budget.

The role works closely with the Head of Technical, Production and Building services, Senior Producer, and Events team in scheduling and delivering all technical and production services for all events and activities across their programme.

The Production Manager engages directly with creative teams, event clients, production companies, and others, leading their teams to use their expertise collaboratively and creatively to advise, support, and deliver all technical and production services.
