Association of British Orchestras

Operations & Data Officer

London Youth Choirs £27,000-£30,000, depending on experience Closing date 15 April 2026
London Youth Choirs is dedicated to raising voices and shaping lives. Through our citywide community of choirs and free school programmes we provide a musical pathway for young singers from ages 7 to 23 where they can find their voice, develop their musical ambitions, and embody the joy, connection and opportunities that singing can bring.

Our Operations team is led by Planning & Operations Director, Tom Hansell. The team manages all aspects of LYC’s event logistics, forward planning, member-facing communications, and data management - the Operations team is ultimately responsible for ensuring that every LYC member feels included, valued, and that they experience inspirational rehearsals, memory-making concerts and a diverse array of exciting events while a member of the choirs.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The collection, storage and presentation of data is absolutely fundamental to all aspects of London Youth Choirs, as is the way this data is leveraged to inform and deliver our work with young people across the capital. Alongside playing a key role in the planning and delivery of LYC’s rehearsals, concerts and events, you will coordinate much of the data that enables this work to take place. You will also assist with the eventual migration of much of LYC’s data into Salesforce (which we are in the early stages of adopting) - with the potential for significant growth and development in this particular area of work.

The right candidate for the role of Operations & Data Officer will, therefore, have spent at least two years in a position that involved developing or maintaining efficient database systems and operations processes, and will have a passion for putting those same systems and processes into practice at a broad range of cultural events. We don’t mind which of these you consider your primary skill-set, but you will need to be able to demonstrate both within your application, and at interview.

You also do not need to have worked with young people before, but you must show us that you are a confident, sensitive and empathetic communicator, with a willingness to learn best practice in all areas of LYC’s work. Most of all, you will have an innate recognition of the importance of good, well-managed data in ensuring that a charity such as LYC functions effectively - enabling us to provide positive, life shaping, and inspiring experiences for our 500 members across London.
