​

We are looking for AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR- Full Time ​​

​

We make theatre that’s loud, bold, and unapologetically human. Every step forward is focused on creating queer and alternative culture. As we enter a new era in 2026, we want to step up that commitment and collaboration, and are looking for a full-time Executive Director to join the team.

​

The Executive Director is Silent Uproar’s senior operational leader, working as a “running mate” alongside the Artistic Director & CEO. Where the Artistic Director focuses on creative vision, programming and artistic leadership, the Executive Director ensures the organisation runs brilliantly: its finances are sound, its partnerships are strong, its operations are smooth, and its people are supported.
 

This is a role for someone who thrives in a small, ambitious organisation and is excited by the opportunity to shape its future. You will bring strong financial acumen, a strategic mindset, and the ability to turn plans into action. You’ll be comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in – in a team this size, no two days are the same, and that’s part of the appeal.
