Hexham Book Festival is going through some organisational change and is seeking to engage an Interim Creative Director. This exciting opportunity is offered as a freelance position for a period of one year: the successful person will be expected to lead on programming, advise on strategy and funding, contribute to the vision of the organisation and report to the Company Directors quarterly.

The post is in person, based in the Book Festival Office, Queen's Hall, Hexham two days per week. Hexham Book Festival has an excellent track record at attracting funding and strong relationships with a range of stakeholders and funders, it also has a healthy box office income. We are therefore confident we can secure a sustainable future, but we have chosen to advertise an interim post while this is achieved and as the current founding Director steps away from the organisation.

The position is freelance contract for one year and will be supported in the initial months by the Founder/Director.

As part of the small team that runs the festival year-round, the Creative Director will work closely with the Festival Manager to ensure that all elements of the festival are in place on time and within budget.
