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 audiences 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.

This exciting position in our central Communications team will drive the development and delivery of bold, creative, and high-impact communications campaigns that support the Royal Ballet and Opera`s commercial and destination goals - from brand partnerships and activations to audience growth and revenue generation. You`ll play a key role in reimagining how our brand connects with the world, reaching new audiences and deepening engagement across every touchpoint, reinforcing the Royal Ballet and Opera as a must-visit cultural destination and a bold, modern brand.

This is a vital role in an agile and dynamic function. Our ideal candidate will be a team player who is a confident communicator with the ability to work as a self-starter and proactively deliver tasks that support pre-agreed priorities and targets. You will be able to juggle multiple high priority PR campaigns at once.

You will be able to demonstrate:

• Proven experience working within a busy communications team, ideally in hospitality, lifestyle, or luxury sectors PR, working with commercial partners on a paid basis through brand partnerships
• Experience working with internal and external media, social channels, and partners.
• A track record of identifying, developing, and securing high profile media opportunities which meet strategic objectives.
