The Association of British Theatre Technicians is the UK’s leading membership body for theatre and live event technical professionals. We support our members through training, publications, events and advocacy, and we work to uphold standards across the sector.
From students and early-career technicians to experienced practitioners, suppliers and industry supporters, our community represents the breadth of technical expertise that underpins theatre and live performance. Through our work, we aim to strengthen the profession, champion good practice and ensure the continued development of skills across the industry.
The Head of Marketing and Communications is a new role at the ABTT, coming in at an exciting and pivotal time for the organisation. It is the first time the ABTT will have a full-time dedicated marketing and communications provision, which will play a central role in shaping and promoting the work of the organisation and growing our impact. This is a hands-on role with strategic vision. You will plan and deliver marketing campaigns that grow and retain membership, increase engagement with training and publications, and strengthen the ABTT’s profile across the theatre and live events industry.
The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate experience of the following:
● Managing or leading a marketing and communications function, ideally within the arts, culture, live events or not-for-profit sector.
● Strong writing, editing and proofreading skills.
● Producing marketing materials using tools such as Adobe Creative Suite or Canva.
● Using website and CRM systems, email marketing platforms and analytics tools.
● Content management systems such as Wix.
● Managing multiple projects and deadlines with care and attention to detail.
● Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
● Maintaining brand consistency across channels.
● An interest in theatre, live performance and the professionals who make it happen.
● Appetite to embrace AI from a delivery and productivity perspective.
● Demonstrable commitment to EDI
● Knowledge of the UK theatre and live events landscape is desirable but not essential
The ABTT operates without a dedicated office, and the Head of Marketing and Communications will work from home as their main place of work. The normal working hours will be between 10:00 and 18:00 from Monday to Friday. The role will require attendance at meetings and events within London Zones 1 to 4. Where travel to attend locations outside these travel zones is required, the cost of travel, accommodation and subsistence will be reimbursed.
