York Theatre Royal seeks a new Chief Executive

York Theatre Royal is one of the region’s most successful producing theatres, welcoming more than 185,000 visitors each year to a unique 278 year old building in the heart of the beautiful and historic city of York.

Supported by Arts Council England and City of York Council, the Theatre Royal provides an exciting mixed programme of work in our 760 seat main house, 70 seat Studio Theatre and in amazing site-specific locations throughout the city. We have an international reputation for the outstanding quality of our own produced work, as well as long standing partnerships with many other creative organisations including Pilot Theatre and Wise Children. We also welcome a range of the country’s leading touring companies to York including Ballet Black and English Touring Opera to offer a different perspective to our audiences – www.yorktheatreroyal.co.uk.

We are now offering an exciting opportunity to lead our amazing theatre, as Chief Executive.

We are very ambitious. We are also proud that we are small enough to be flexible and fleet of foot in our approach, but we are big enough to have real impact.

We are looking for someone dynamic to join us, to lead our people, engage our stakeholders, and enthuse our audiences.
