  • Lead the organisation’s business plan alongside the Director and with support from the SLT, ensuring this is in line with the organisation’s vision, offer, purpose and values.
  • Manage the preparation and submission of annual applications to key public sector funders, including Arts Council England, Nottingham City Council and HE partners by providing relevant departmental data and information.
  • Lead responsibility for all aspects of financial management and administration of the organisation, including related regulatory reporting.
  • In liaison with the Director and SLT, set and manage annual and multi-year budgets and resources, providing suitable reporting on a regular basis to the Director, budget holders and Trustees.
  • Ensure that legal responsibilities of Nottingham Contemporary are met including charity, company and health and safety, liaising with solicitors as required.
  • Ensure the efficient maintenance and excellent presentation of the building.
  • Spearhead income generation strategies in the business plan with support from the Director and Senior Development Manager to diversify and increase the gallery’s revenue streams.
  • Oversee the promotion and communication of Nottingham Contemporary’s artistic and educational programmes and commercial activities across all platforms, including print, press, digital and social media.
  • Develop and manage key local and regional partnerships, and working relationships with regional and national tourism organisations.
  • Be an outstanding member of the SLT, upholding our values and contributing to Nottingham Contemporary being a high-performing organisation and an excellent and inclusive employer.
