Director of Finance & Business Performance
Permanent Position

We are looking for a highly experienced and professional individual to take on leadership and management responsibilties, as our new Director of Finance & Business Performance. This role is critical to the future success of Sadler's Wells.

Sadler’s Wells is a world-leading creative organisation, dedicated to presenting, producing and touring dance made today in all its forms. Sadler’s Wells commissions, presents and produces more dance than any other theatre in the world – from tango to hip hop, ballet to flamenco, Bollywood to cutting-edge contemporary dance.   

This is an exciting and complex time in the theatre’s history as we recover from the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on our business model and work towards opening a fourth venue in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London in 2023. This mix of recovery and expansion, which takes place in the context of an increasingly rich and ambitious artistic programme, requires a management structure better aligned to the needs and strategic aims of the organisation. This new senior role is a key part of that structure, taking leadership responsibility for a range of functions critical to the operation and future success of the organisation.  

Candidates will be qualified accountants and have previous experience leading financial and/or commercial activity across a complex organisation.  They will demonstrate entrepreneurial flair, as well as high-level strategic planning and budgeting experience, and excellent leadership qualities.  This role offers you the opportunity to bring your ideas, passion, knowledge and experience to Sadler’s Wells. In return, the successful candidate will be part of a strong and supportive team in a world-class arts organisation.
