The role of Festival Producer is a key freelance post overseeing the delivery of the festival each May across its venues. The primary responsibilities are the practical preparation for, management of and hands-on delivery of all festival events, including primary responsibility for the outdoor stages and sites for the festival’s opening weekend events, and the operational and financial management of relationships with our varied partner venues. The role will require the postholder to attend team and venue partner meetings, spend time out of the office and on event sites before, during and after the festival. The role will also be integral to our plans to return the festival hub to its home in Albert Square for 2025, mjf’s 30th anniversary.
