Producer, Creative Arts​/Media, Event Management & Planning

Are you someone who loves making creative ideas happen? Do you bring curiosity, care and calm organisation to your work? Are you excited by theatre that challenges perceptions, creates opportunities and brings people together?

We’re looking for an experienced Producer to join the Hijinx team, helping us develop and deliver ambitious, inclusive theatre and creative projects across Wales, the UK and beyond.

Contract: Permanent (6 months’ probation)

Hours: Full time (37.5 hours per week)

Base: Cardiff (with local, national and international travel as the role requires)

Starting salary: £31,000 per annum

Holiday: 30 days per year + statutory bank holidays

(midnight)

This is a role for an experienced producer who enjoys connecting people, places and ideas. You’ll play a key role across our creative programme, from participatory projects with young people, adults and our inclusive band, through to professional theatre productions, touring opportunities and major events including Hijinx Unity Festival.

You’ll be part of a collaborative team, bringing experience of managing creative projects from development through to delivery, supporting artists and teams to make brilliant work happen.
In this role, you’ll:

• Work alongside the Associate Director as producer on all Hijinx’s creative engagement activity, including young people’s theatre, adult community groups and our inclusive band.
• Support the creative team from early ideas through to delivery, supporting artists and teams to make their best work.
• Support the development and touring of Hijinx’s professional theatre work, building relationships with venues, festivals and partners.
• Help identify new opportunities for Hijinx’s work to reach audiences nationally and internationally.
• Support the delivery of Hijinx Unity Festival and other major events, helping create welcoming and accessible experiences for artists, audiences and participants.
• Manage project budgets, contracts, schedules and communications, making the complex feel clear and achievable.
• Line manage the Assistant Producer, helping them grow their skills and confidence.

You’ll work closely with the Executive Producer, Artistic Director/Co-CEO, Associate Director and wider Hijinx team. You’ll also collaborate with a brilliant network of artists, freelancers, participants and partners who make our work possible.

You don’t need to have followed a traditional producing path, but you do need to bring experience of producing creative work and managing complex projects. We are looking for someone who can confidently lead projects, build relationships and support artists/teams to deliver ambitious work. You’ll be:

• Someone who believes in the creative potential of everyone and is passionate about inclusive theatre.
• A thoughtful producer who enjoys bringing structure, care and imagination to creative projects.
• A confident relationship-builder who enjoys working with artists, communities, audiences, venues, funders and partners.
• Curious about new opportunities and excited by sharing Hijinx’s work with new audiences.
• Organised, adaptable and comfortable balancing creative ambition with practical delivery.
• Someone who understands that access and artistry go hand in hand.

You will need demonstrable experience of producing theatre, touring, festivals, participatory arts or community-led work, alongside experience of managing budgets, schedules, relationships and creative processes. We welcome applications from people with different career journeys and backgrounds, and we recognise that valuable producing experience can be gained in many different contexts.

This is a Cardiff-based role, with hybrid working available and regular travel across Wales and the UK, with occasional international travel. It is a permanent role (following a six-month probation), with flexible hours and TOIL offered.
