Help shape a major new cultural and events venue from the start.
The Royal Armouries is developing an ambitious new cultural destination at Leeds Dock. The Royal Armouries Waterfront (RAW) will provide a flexible new venue for conferences, events, performances and immersive experiences, creating a major new asset for Leeds and the wider region.
We are seeking an exceptional Public Programme Producer to join the project team at an early stage and help shape the future of the venue.
Working initially three days a week, you will develop the foundations of the public programme that will bring RAW to life when it opens in 2031. You will identify future programme opportunities, develop relationships with producers and partners, help inform the design and operational requirements of the building, and build the strategy, team and partnerships needed to deliver an outstanding launch programme.
This is a rare opportunity to help create a major cultural destination from the ground up and to play a defining role in one of the most significant cultural development projects in Leeds.
