This is a pivotal leadership role within one of the UK's leading contemporary arts organisations, offering the opportunity to shape the strategic and operational future of Liverpool Biennial at an exciting moment of development and ambition for the organisation. Liverpool Biennial's core values lie in its ambition to become a 'Biennial for Everyone', increasing access to contemporary art as a place for connection, learning and creativity. The Deputy Director will be responsible embedding these values within the effective operational, financial, and governance management of Liverpool Biennial.

The role provides strategic and operational oversight across the whole organisation including finance, IT, HR and governance. We are also looking for experience or expertise in at least one of the following areas: development and fundraising, commercial partnerships within an arts organisation context, or marketing and
communications.

The Deputy Director will work both internally with the team and Board and also act as a key representative of the Biennial with local, national and international funders and stakeholders, so we are looking for a confident and personable advocate.

We are a small organisation with a huge output that prides itself on being agile and supportive. This means that staff at all levels of the organisation work on both strategy and hands on delivery. For example, the Deputy Director will be happy to move from working on political advocacy for the organisation and sector, to stepping in to welcome visitors to a festival venue to support our front of house team.
