Content & Creative Lead – Arts – £80k

Content & Creative Lead – Arts & Culture Sector
London (hybrid)
Up to £80,000

We’re partnering with a highly respected organisation within the arts and cultural sector to appoint a Content & Creative Lead.

This is a senior role for someone who sits naturally at the intersection of creative direction and content strategy – equally comfortable shaping big ideas as they are building the editorial engine behind them.

The organisation is entering a new phase of growth and brand evolution, and this hire will play a central role in defining how it shows up across digital, campaigns and cultural programming.

The Role

You will lead the development and execution of a cohesive creative and content vision across multiple platforms. This includes overseeing editorial direction, campaign storytelling, visual identity alignment and audience growth initiatives.

You’ll manage multidisciplinary creatives (internal and external), while partnering closely with marketing, partnerships and leadership teams to ensure output is culturally relevant, strategically aligned and commercially effective.

Key Responsibilities

* Define and deliver a clear creative and content strategy aligned to brand and growth objectives
* Lead campaign development from concept through to execution across digital and physical touchpoints
* Oversee editorial planning, storytelling frameworks and content production
* Ensure visual and narrative consistency across channels
* Collaborate with artists, creatives and external partners on culturally relevant projects
* Manage and mentor a small in-house team and freelance network

Requirements

* Significant experience in senior creative and/or content leadership roles
* Background within arts, culture, publishing, media or a related sector
* Proven ability to balance brand storytelling with audience growth and engagement
* Strong editorial instincts alongside visual and creative direction capability
* Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and complex campaigns
* High level of cultural awareness and creative judgement

This role will suit someone who has moved beyond pure editorial or pure creative direction and is looking for a position where both disciplines are equally valued.

Up to £80,000 depending on experience. London-based with hybrid working.
