Creative Director & CEO
£42-45K (dependent on experience)
Full Time, Permanent
Marketplace Arts is looking for an ambitious, inspiring, and creatively curious Creative Director & CEO to lead our organisation into its next chapter.
This is a rare opportunity to take the creative and strategic lead of an established, community-led arts organisation with the freedom, ambition, and potential to shape what comes next.
For more than 10 years, our Arts Council England Creative People and Places (CPP) programme has challenged the ways in which culture is created, experienced, and shared. Working across seven market towns in Fenland and West Suffolk — Brandon, Mildenhall, Newmarket, Chatteris, March, Whittlesey, and Wisbech — we put communities at the heart of our work, working alongside artists, partners, and local people to create ambitious, high-quality cultural experiences in places where access to the arts has historically been limited.
