End-to-End Concert Production Lead

The Concert Producer owns end-to-end execution of TODA's concert and event programme. You take a confirmed artistic concept (defined by our Programme Owner) and turn it into a delivered show — on time, on budget, and audience-ready. You report to the Managing Director and work daily with our Programme Owner, Marketing, Finance, and Box Office.

This is a hands-on execution role. You will not own creative concept — you will own that everything around the concept lands. If it ships late, you own it. If the marketing brief misses lead time, you own it. If the artist materials don't arrive, you find a way.
