Wild Arts is looking for a new Executive Director. This is a key role within our small team, and has the ability to make a huge impact on the company at this exciting time of growth. Wild Arts is a charity and in 2024 has delivered a Summer Opera tour, The Magic Flute, an outdoor Opera Evening tour, Songs of Summer Love, the Messiah, and a schools programme and concerts in Essex. The company has grown from the Roman River Festival which we also present annually in coastal Essex. We run the Essex Summer Opera Festival at Layer Marney tower every June and have a supportive Friends scheme.

2025 is an exciting year for us with ambitious productions and tours, building on the success of this year. The Executive Director will be key in realising this, working closely with Orlando Jopling the Artistic Director. This role would suit an experienced producer, general manager or finance and operations professional who loves music and opera.
