We are seeking a diligent and collaborative Executive Director to join the leadership team at Revoluton. The post holder will work closely with the CEO/Creative Director to support the growth, development and delivery of the organisation’s ambition. This includes the successful delivery of the Creative People and Places (CPP) project – our primary funded programme – alongside the progression of Revoluton’s role as a producer of bold new work. Leading all aspects of the organisation’s operations, the post holder will create the conditions and support the team to deliver an adventurous and inspirational programme of arts events, projects and activities.

Revoluton was established as an independent organisation in 2020, and this is an exciting time to join the team as we continue to broaden our programme and ambitions. Developments across recent years – securing increased resource and capacity to deliver against our plan – place us in a strong position. With £1.77 million investment confirmed for the next four years, the post holder will play a vital role in enhancing and evolving the operations of the organisation at a time of expansion. Revoluton’s transformation is ongoing and there is work to be done with the staff team, trustees and our partners, to realise our ambition.

We are looking for someone to be a key leader in the delivery of the organisation’s overall strategy, led by the CEO/Creative Director, and be responsible for its operational oversight. This includes financial sustainability, fundraising, evaluation, impact and advocacy, governance and staff leadership. We are looking for a great strategist with a flair for finance, an entrepreneurial spirit and a great appetite for collaborative working.

This is a leadership position in a growing organisation that is building creative opportunities with amazing communities in Luton and with places like Luton. Together with the CEO/Creative Director, the postholder will maintain and nurture a positive working culture that is ambitious and inclusive.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do, from programming work with, by, and for Lutonians, to how we budget and build partnerships. We are committed to our organisation reflecting and celebrating Luton’s incredible diversity across ethnicity, age, gender, disability and socio-economic background. We therefore especially welcome applications from people with lived experience of the communities that we work with.
