Manchester International Festival (MIF) invites great artists from across the globe to create extraordinary new work for the Festival, which is staged every two years at venues and found spaces across Manchester.
Their future home is The Factory, a world-class cultural space being built in the heart of the city, where they’ll present a year-round programme and artists will be able to develop work of huge ambition and scale that they might not be able to anywhere else.
The Producer (Fixed Term) will support the development and delivery of a series of ambitious events designed by the people of Greater Manchester. The events will be part of the opening programme of The Factory (The Welcome) and will be created with a focus on sharing agency with those who don’t typically participate in arts and culture.

- Working with the Executive Producer, Creative Engagement, the Curatorial Group and departments across the organisation to develop the Programme
- Timeline the development and delivery of the overall Programme, communicating plans across the organisation to feed into wider organisational scheduling and resource planning
- Line producing projects as required and/or ensuring smooth hand over of projects to line producers at development stage, ensuring clear information is shared across all teams
- Working closely with the Executive Producer and the International team to manage Co-commission and Co-Production relationships, providing touring information, feeding into the contractual process and hosting partners as required
- Work with Creative Engagement and Producing to embed learning around publicly curated practice into the organisation
Essential requirements include:
- Enthusiasm for working with the public to facilitate the creation of exciting projects
- Experience of delivering projects across a variety of scales
- Good financial skills including managing budgets of varying scales
- Positive and enthusiastic attitude and a flexible approach to developing and delivering work
- Commitment to championing representation and inclusion at every level of the organisation with a proven ability to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds
