Creative Director, Bradford Culture Company Ltd

Creative Director, Bradford Culture Company Ltd

Bradford has been named as UK City of Culture 2025. Their vision is to use arts and culture to fuel the social, economic and creative renaissance of the district; to make Bradford one of the most welcoming places in the UK where artists, producers, audiences and creative entrepreneurs can flourish.

Fiercely proud of its creativity, boldness and independence of spirit, Bradford’s story is ready to be told and our storytellers come from all parts of the globe. This is a district built by entrepreneurs, shaped by an international community and a history of world-famous artists, performers, writers and musicians.

Bradford’s 2025 UK City of Culture bid has already forged new collaborations, connections and creative conversations, connected arts and cultural activities with our outstanding heritage sites across the district, with the built environment, our glorious natural landscapes and the huge range of creative, voluntary and social organisations working in education, health and wellbeing and environmental activities across the district.

This role, in partnership with the Executive Director, will support their commitment to tackling inequalities, to unleash the limitless imaginations of our young and diverse population, to evidence the positive changes that arts and culture can make in everyone’s life and to change perceptions of Bradford in the UK and around the world.

As Bradford 2025’s Creative Director you will lead on cultural programming, the development of the cultural capacity of the district, working with local, national and international partners to produce an ambitious programme of work for 2025.

You will also recruit and manage the creative and production teams and work closely with senior colleagues communications, audience development, fundraising and finance. Working with other colleagues, you’ll also be the public face of the Trust, attending key cultural and networking events, hosting visits to the district and supporting fundraising and partnership development.
