The Philharmonia Orchestra is seeking to appoint a Marketing & Press Officer to lead on marketing and press campaigns for: concerts in all residency venues (Basingstoke, Bedford, Canterbury, Leicester, Garsington Opera, Three Choirs); Learning & Engagement activities; international and UK tours and engagements.

The role will be focused on creating marketing and press campaigns that deliver against ticket and income targets, as well as audience growth and engagement. The successful candidate will have experience in developing campaigns using the full marketing-mix and be well versed in maximising press.

Experience in post-campaign analysis and insight is essential, as this role will be responsible for providing crucial information for fundraising reports and applications.

Importantly, this role works with a wide variety of stakeholders, partners, and audiences, so the candidate must be an excellent communicator, who is able to juggle many projects, and thrives on developing relationships with diverse groups.

There will be an expectation to attend a variety of Philharmonia concerts and activities throughout the UK.

We operate a hybrid working practice, with a minimum of three days in the office. The role will be primarily based at our administrative office in Southwark, London SE1; however, some travel within London and to other UK (and international) locations will be required.

Closing date for applications is midnight on 14th March 2023. Interviews will be held w/c 20th March 2023.

The Philharmonia Orchestra is committed to ensuring equitable opportunities and a welcoming environment for all those that engage in our work. We strive for a more representative workforce and encourage applications from under-represented groups in the UK arts workforce, particularly those from Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority backgrounds, from lower socio-economic statuses, d/Deaf and Disabled applicants, and those from the LGBTQIA+ community.
