Overview
Stan's Cafe are looking for a General Manager to support Stan Cafe’s work as we pursue our ambitious plans for making high quality theatre projects, international touring and our Creative Learning programme. The General Manager is the lynchpin of Stan’s Cafe, managing artistic projects, marketing and our core financial and operational functions. We are looking for someone adaptable who is interested in all aspects of running a contemporary performance company. You may not currently work in the theatre sector but will be passionate about supporting artists to create new work, and in developing and maintaining the organisational structures in order for that to happen. The purpose of the role is to: Provide leadership in the effective management of the company’s operations, including legal and statutory responsibilities. Be responsible for the finance function of the company, including budget tracking, management accounts and day-to-day bookkeeping and payroll. Be responsible for the project management of the artistic programme, including marketing plans and marketing activity. Contribute to the creation and implementation of audience development and fundraising strategies. Support the strategic development of the company in collaboration with the Artistic Director, Executive Producer, Creative Learning Producer and Associate Director. Stan's Cafe (pronounced caff) is an internationally acclaimed company creating theatre from our Birmingham base since 1991. We use theatre to boldly address timeless and contemporary themes and are happy to twist it out of shape in order to do so – our performance projects extend beyond theatres into site-specific and installation works. We are regularly invited to perform at venues around the world; major commissioners and touring partners have included Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Melbourne Festival, Fierce Festival (Birmingham), Under the Radar (New York), Harbourfront Centre (Toronto), Warwick Arts Centre, RSC, Theaterfestival Basel, Domaine d’O (Montpellier), Vienna Festival, and many more. Alongside our artistic programme we run a Creative Learning programme, which centres on long-term partnerships with schools. Each year we engage around 3,000 young people in exciting creative projects designed to inspire their learning. The salary range we are advertising for this post is wide: £24,000 - £32,000 per year. We recognise that the role is varied and that you may be an outstanding candidate without experience of every element. Therefore, we remain keen to hear from you if you feel you have some relevant experience, enjoy variety and you are committed to learning new things that you can put into practice in this job. Your salary will be dependent on your experience, and if you are someone who would benefit from support in a particular area we will commit to using some of the budget for this role for professional support and training, in discussion with you. Ultimately we want to enable you to fulfil all elements of the job description and, when this has been achieved through our support and training (if required), to then increase your salary accordingly.
