Are you drawn to the arts, events or cultural sector?
Do you seek a sales role where you can influence strategy, develop fresh ideas, and create meaningful experiences?
If so, this brand-new position could set the stage for you to shine.
Opera North is on a journey. It’s one that will enable an emerging myriad of opportunities that will both transform perceptions for what a cultural arts institution can be, while further enhancing their existing, positive impact communities across the North of England.
Following the appointment of a Director of Strategy & Commercial, the leading arts organisation is seeking an entrepreneurial and results focused Commercial Sales Manager who will conceptualise and collaboratively define a growing portfolio of viable and profitable offerings and packages.
From the atmospheric Howard Assembly Room to Kino, the Howard Opera Centre’s studios and rehearsal spaces, and the expansive Kirkstall warehouse, you’ll bring their vibrant and distinctive range of venues to life.
We are looking for a self-starter, someone who will think creatively and act commercially, driven to ignite fruitful partnerships, generate reliable revenue streams, and connect the organisation more deeply than ever before across the city of Leeds and beyond.
This is unlike any other sales role out there right now.
Driving income will directly fuel Opera North’s inspirational and purposeful initiatives with schoolchildren from impoverished areas across Yorkshire, and will bring music and the arts to communities who are too often overlooked, powering programmes that build creativity, confidence and opportunity.
Opera North is looking for someone who will become part of the fabric of the organisation and help shape its future. You’ll deliver a seamless client experience from first conversation to final applause, representing the company across Leeds and the wider region with confidence and pride.
*With this being a brand-new position within an emerging commercial team, you’ll work closely with the Director of Strategy & Commercial to set ambitious yet attainable targets and performance bonuses.
Please submit your CV to: louis@hire-purpose.uk. The JD can be found via the Hire Purpose website.
The closing date for applications is 12pm on Wednesday 3rd December 2025.
First stage Interviews will take place in person between 11:00 – 16:30 on Tuesday 9th, and 12:00 – 17:00 on Wednesday 10th December, with the final stage taking place online on Friday 12th and Monday 15th December.
