Battersea Arts Centre
Applications close 10pm Sunday 12 July 2026. Successful shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an initial interview on Thursday 30 July 2026.
We can provide a BSL interpreter if required.
The Role
Responsible to: Director of Marketing and Communications
Working Closely with: Part-time Head of Marketing (LIFT), Communications Manager, Marketing Officer, BAC Producing Team
Responsible for: Ticketing and Data Officer
General Description
As Marketing Campaigns Manager, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering campaigns for both London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT) - produced biennially across London by BAC – and for our bold year-round programme in our building on Lavender Hill.
The focus of the role is devising and implementing compelling marketing campaigns to drive sales and attendance, and to further our brand and profile. It is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, creative marketeer who thrives in a fast-paced, energetic and collaborative environment.
The culture at BAC is a collaborative and open one. We work in an open plan space with no closed private offices and frequently work across teams and roles. We are lucky to have an outdoor terrace adjoined to the office which is particularly nice in the summer months. There’s a good culture of people taking lunch breaks away from desks and two equipped kitchen and eating areas where the team tend to spend their down time. We organise regular social events and things can get competitive at our annual sports day and Christmas quiz. Though to be clear, spectating is respected as much as taking part here at BAC!
