Kings Place seeks a talented and motivated individual to join our Production Team in a permanent role: Production Manager (Concerts).

This position is ideal for people who thrive in a fast paced venue environment and enjoy working collaboratively to deliver exceptional events.

Background

Kings Place is an adventurous music and arts venue with a welcoming, community spirit. A place where people meet, discuss, listen and learn. We are a registered charity and do not receive regular public funding. Our income is generated through ticket sales, donations, grants, and the staging of world-class conferences and events.

We were the first cultural building in the regenerated King's Cross area, developed with a belief that arts and culture are a fundamental part of a thriving city. The vision was to create an office building founded on an arts centre, a hub for a family of ensembles and arts charities, where business events support the artistic programme. Catering to a diverse range of audiences we offer captivating experiences in our halls. More than a music venue we offer safe and welcoming free public spaces for meeting, socialising and studying, open plan office space for arts organisations, as well as galleries, bars and a canal-side restaurant.

Kings Place is a committed equal opportunities employer. We strive to provide our employees with a work environment free from discrimination where everyone can succeed and excel. We recognise that our organisation is enriched and strengthened by a diverse workforce and we welcome applications from everyone.
