Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled, well-organised Project Manager to coordinate the planning and delivery of our capital development project and other significant, time-limited organisational projects.

Job Description

YAS is a home for art in all its forms and a centre for art production, providing high quality, affordable studio space for artists and makers across two sites in Sheffield city centre - Persistence Works and Exchange Place.

This part-time, fixed-term role is a chance to help shape the future of artists' workspace in the city.

The capital project will be your main focus, but you'll also coordinate other major projects during the fixed term, such as website development, signage or digital strategy. You'll make sure each project is well planned, clearly documented, and delivered on time and within budget.

Job Requirements

You are an excellent project coordinator who keeps timelines, actions and records firmly on track. You communicate confidently and professionally with contractors, design teams, funders, Board members and tenants.

You will have:

Experience supporting capital, building or infrastructure projects, including planning, scheduling, contractor liaison and compliance tracking

Experience supporting funding applications, budgets and reporting to funders

Strong IT skills, including Microsoft 365, shared filing systems and spreadsheets

It would be great if you also have:

Experience in an arts organisation, studio provider, charity or capital project environment

Knowledge of contemporary visual art, artists' studios or creative workspace

Experience coordinating construction, refurbishment or fit-out projects (a technical or professional background is not required)

Job Responsibilities

Develop and maintain project plans for the capital project and other major projects, including timelines, milestones, dependencies, risks and issues.

Coordinate communication between the Director, Trustees, design team, contractors, funders and other stakeholders.

Organise and service a project steering group, including agendas, papers, minutes and actions.

Coordinate site visits, surveys, inspections and works, working with our Administration and Operations Coordinator to minimise disruption to tenants.

Support the Director with capital funding applications and funder reporting.

Track the project budget, quotes and spend, and flag any variances.

Support tenant and community communication about the project.

Keep clear project records, including briefs, decision logs, supplier information and progress reports.

Plan and coordinate other significant, time-limited projects, such as website development, signage or digital strategy, as agreed with the Director.
