The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

• Experience of managing multiple creative, content, marketing or communications projects through to delivery in a busy, deadline-led environment.
• Practical understanding of digital, film and print production processes.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to communicate clearly, manage expectations and work effectively with colleagues at all levels.
