Vacancy: Building Director

Wanted: The best Building Director in the World

Yes, the job description for this role is probably the longest we’ve ever created.  But then again, it’s a really special kind of job. And a supercritical addition to our Senior Management Team.

We want someone who can lead our facilities team and practically manage our spaces, but we also want someone who has the entrepreneurial nous and strategic vision to help us realise the full potential of our spaces.

Told you it was a special kind of job.

As a member of the Senior Management Team, one day you could be thinking up a strategy for a new enterprise opportunity, another day you could be creating a better recycling system, or setting up a PA for a performance, or eating a piece of fruit while an artist films you (we’re not kidding).

Sometimes you might do all of that in just one day.

Sound like your kind of job?

You need to apply.

Go ahead. You know you want to. We want you to, too.

We’re looking to appoint someone on a full-time, fixed-term contract basis to start with, who could ideally start immediately. And we hope you like (or at least will tolerate) dogs, because we bring ours to the office. ?

The Art House is an Equal Opportunity employer and the ethos of respect and compassion for each other and the communities we work with runs through everything we do.

We pay Real Living Wage, provide a Cycle to Work Scheme and a Staff Wellbeing programme. We are also a fun and interesting place to work and we think you’d enjoy it here.
