The National Centre for Music (NCM) are seeking to appoint a Director of Brand & Audience Development to play a fundamental role in our project. This role is a chance to contribute deeply to the creation of a cultural destination at the heart of Edinburgh as NCM takes on the operation of the iconic old Royal High School at the foot of Calton Hill.
We are seeking a Director of Brand & Audience Development to help in bringing our vision of NCM to life - shaping the brand, growing our audiences and inspiring the musicians of the future. The successful candidate will be fundamental in establishing our voice, profile and reputation, and in ensuring diverse audiences connect with what we do. You will work closely with music sector partners, as well as positioning NCM as an iconic destination for tourists, locals and events bookers.
We are seeking a dynamic, pro-active and detail-orientated Executive Assistant to support our developing team, help embed strong administrative systems and company policies, ensure good internal communications and generally be a responsive and practical pair of hands on general administrative functions.
The role offers:
- The chance to help shape an inclusive and productive culture from the beginning
- Close collaboration with senior leadership and strategic decision-makers
- Exposure to the early phases of establishing a music organisation and venue
- A meaningful opportunity to contribute to a project with long-term cultural impact
This is initially a 1-year post, supporting the team at a period of transition, but we anticipate it may extend beyond this. We are open to flexible working arrangements and for hours to be spread across more than 3 days. While the role will have hybrid conditions, good contact time with the senior management team is essential so some time in our Edinburgh office will be important.
