About the Role
Shape the future of arts and culture in Eastleigh
Eastleigh Borough Council is looking for a creative, commercial, and audience-focused Marketing, Sales & Programming Manager to help lead an ambitious new model for The Point and The Berry Theatre.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of two much-loved cultural venues.
The Point and The Berry Theatre play an important role in the Borough. They bring people together, support local talent, and provide space for communities, artists, schools, hirers, and audiences.
We are building a more focused and sustainable model that grows audiences, increases income, makes better use of our venues, and keeps culture at the heart of community life.
About The Role
This is an exciting time to join Eastleigh Borough Council’s Arts and Culture Team.
We are looking for a Marketing, Sales & Programming Manager to help shape and deliver the next chapter for our venues.
You will lead marketing, ticket and event sales, audience development, and customer insight across our theatres and events programme. You will create a joined-up approach to campaigns, sales, programming, and income growth.
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.
You will focus on growing audiences, making the best use of our venues, and increasing commercial and community use. Using data, insight, and creativity, you will help reach new audiences, improve performance, and support a sustainable programme of events, hires, and performances.
You will work closely with the Business Director, Head of Sales, Communications and Marketing, Commercial & Business Development Manager, venue teams, corporate communications colleagues, and external partners.
Why this role matters
This role is central to the future of The Point and The Berry Theatre.
You will turn ambition into action by growing audiences, making campaigns work harder, building strong partnerships, and helping create a programme that is inclusive, high quality, and financially sound.
You will also help our venues continue to support community life, local culture, and the wider visitor economy.
This is an opportunity to make a visible difference and help shape the next chapter for arts and culture in Eastleigh.
