Marketing Officer – Projects
Salary: £22,672 p/annum
Hours: Full time (40 hours per week), permanent. Flexible hours (hybrid office-based and remote working).
Location: Future Yard, 75 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6AB
Closing date: 13th March 2023 (5pm)
Interviews: 21st and 22nd March

Future Yard – a new community music venue and skills/training hub in Birkenhead – are looking to recruit a dynamic, creative individual into a new Marketing Officer – Projects role. The primary focus of this role is to promote the wide range of projects, courses and non-live music events taking place at Future Yard’s venue on Argyle Street, Birkenhead.

The individual will join a small but expanding marketing team, working alongside the Marketing Director and a Marketing Officer — Live to communicate every aspect of Future Yard’s output. The successful individual will have a passion for live music and a flair for communication, and share Future Yard’s belief that music can help change people’s lives and inspire pride.

This is a unique opportunity to join the team at one of the UK’s most exciting new music venues. With a bar, coffee shop, live venue, vegetarian kitchen and garden open seven days a week, they have played host to artists such as Gruff Rhys, OMD, Black Country New Road, Nubiyan Twist, Shame, Melt Yourself Down, Bodega and many more in our Live Room.

Future Yard is a community music venue, running a range of training programmes and events that serve the local community, from toddlers through to seasoned gig goers. They pride themselves on providing opportunities to access music to a diverse range of people, with particular focus on our immediate community in Birkenhead.

As a busy live music venue and community hub, Future Yard has a wide range of activities targeted to different audiences. They support all pathways into live music, through live music industry training programmes for young people and a comprehensive artist development programme for emerging live musicians. They also believe that live music venues have, for too long, been off-limits to young children and teenagers, which is where their programme of Mosh Tots and New Noise shows offer alternatives for all age ranges.

The varied live events programme at Future Yard is often the thing that generates the most attention, due to the high profile nature of the artists booked to play on their stage. But Future Yard is more than just a music venue – music has the power to make people change the way they think about themselves and their community, and they’re committed to Future Yard being part of that drive for change in Birkenhead.

Every time they open our doors is an opportunity to change someone’s life – whether that’s through playing music with peers, developing the skills needed to build a career, enjoying a live music experience with friends and family, or simply feeling part of a supportive network of people passionate about music.

This presents a multifaceted and compelling offer, which requires dedicated streams of messaging and promotion to make sure that the people who need to be aware of these opportunities can find them. Developing this – in conjunction with our network of key community partners – is key to this role, and to the success of Future Yard as a true community music venue.

You will receive training to bring you up to speed on existing projects, and will be offered the opportunity for further training related to specific aspects of your role.

Manage the promotion of flagship projects (Sound Check, Mosh Tots, PROPELLER, New Noise Music Centre) through core Future Yard channels
