Shape the sound of Birmingham.
We are looking for an exceptional Director of Programme to lead and deliver the vibrant, commercially grounded programme at B:Music.
With up to 800 events each year across Symphony Hall, Town Hall and beyond, this is a role with genuine scale, influence and ambition. You’ll shape a programme that brings together artistic excellence, commercial success and the extraordinary diversity and creativity of Birmingham.
You’ll set the programming strategy for B:Music, balancing artistic ambition with the commercial contribution that underpins our business model. You’ll have executive responsibility for the programme’s success - from what we present and who we work with, to audiences, reputation, risk and financial performance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re looking for a strategic and commercially astute music leader with an established network of artists, agents, promoters and industry partners across multiple genres. Someone who understands how a great programme is built, knows how to negotiate the deal, and can turn ambition into outstanding live experiences.
You’ll lead a programming team and work across the organisation to make the most of our venues, audiences, commercial opportunities and partnerships.
This is a chance to make a significant mark on Birmingham’s cultural life - and on the national music landscape.
If you have the vision, relationships and commercial nous to lead a programme of this scale, we’d love to hear from you.
