Position Summary

You will work closely with the Director and creative collaborators across regions to bring ambitious cultural projects to life-from concept to execution-and serve as the main point of contact for artists, vendors, venues, and media partners.
This is a permanent role at 60%, including occasional evening and weekend work.
