Competitive based on skills and experience
Full time; 40 hours per week
Based in: Covent Garden, London

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts - we may be a House, but three quarters of our audience experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world. Keeping us connected to audiences across the world are our technology team, who enable us to do our jobs onsite by providing the network, infrastructure and systems for all departments to work effectively.

In this newly created role, the Head of Technology Delivery is responsible for overseeing the delivery of technology projects and services within the Royal Ballet & Opera. This role involves managing the technology roadmap, ensuring the successful implementation of all technology projects, and supporting the RBOs architectural and business aims and objectives.

Our ideal candidate will be an experienced leader who is used to managing cross-functional teams on large scale projects. They will be able to demonstrate:

• Proven experience managing a variety of teams including project managers, architects, engineers and testers
• Strong technical skills and experience in managing technology projects
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to maintain positive relations with all user groups and stakeholders
• Experience working successfully with cross-discipline teams

The Royal Ballet and Opera is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from those who are from a global majority background and/or those who are disabled, as they are under-represented within our organisation. As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the essential minimum criteria for our vacancies.
