Dunedin Consort is looking to appoint an Artistic Planning Coordinator on a part-time basis (0.8 FTE). Due to the nature of our work, candidates will be expected to work some evenings and weekends, and to travel internationally as required by our touring schedule.

Based primarily at the Dunedin Consort office in central Edinburgh — with scope for part-time remote working — you will support the Head of Artistic Planning in overseeing the production of Dunedin Consort’s annual programme of concerts, events and recordings. This role is key to the successful functioning of the organisation’s day-to-day activities, with an emphasis on production, project planning and logistics. You may not yet have experience in the classical music sector, and we are open to candidates who can demonstrate administrative skills in other areas, but above all you should demonstrate an eagerness to learn the details and nuances that define what we do. The position would suit someone with experience in project planning, and experience in the performing arts would be an advantage. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate an ability to coordinate complex projects, have an exceptional eye for detail, and be adept at forming strong interpersonal relationships.

We work collaboratively and supportively across all our output, so you will find yourself well supported by the rest of the team, and in turn will have the opportunity to offer your skills to other departments. Our concert and learning and participation programmes having expanded significantly in recent years, so this is an ideal post for someone who wants to help make a real difference to our trajectory as the company grows and develops.
