Hours: 35 hours per week (full time)
Salary: £45,000
Contract: 18-month fixed term, with potential to become permanent

About Us

Creative United is an entrepreneurial community interest company committed to supporting creative livelihoods. We work with partners across the public and private sectors to design and deliver programmes that enable economic growth and social impact. Our vision is for artists, creative enterprises and cultural organisations to have access to the skills, advice and services they need to achieve their ambitions for growth and impact within their communities.

The Opportunity

This new senior role will be responsible for driving the delivery and development of a new business support programme for creative enterprises. You will provide vision, influence organisational priorities and drive income generation, ensuring the programme delivers measurable impact. You will lead the new programme through a period of testing as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), identifying ways to improve it as a result of the test period. Crucially, working closely with Creative United’s Senior Management Team, you will ensure the new programme generates interest and sales from its target market and fulfils its brief to build skills and confidence in growing creative businesses.

This new programme offer is being developed following the success of Creative United’s publicly funded business support programme Re:Create, which has been delivered in partnership with the London boroughs of Wandsworth, Richmond-upon-Thames and the City of Westminster. The new programme is a priority business development opportunity for Creative United. We will be bringing an exciting and transformative new business support programme – designed especially for leaders of creative enterprises with a growth mindset – to market, enabling them to invest in their development as profitable, impactful creative enterprises.

Candidate Profile

We are seeking candidates who believe in our mission to support creative livelihoods. You will be motivated by helping creative people pursue their business ambitions, understanding that the creative industry in the UK is not just an economic powerhouse, but a force for social good. You recognise that barriers exist for many people to build an enterprise that not only produces creative products and services loved by their audiences and customers, but also capitalises on this to generate sustainable income for founders and employees alike. You have deep experience of working either within the creative industry or arts sector, and can bring this experience to bear on developing ways to support others to succeed. An excellent writer and speaker, you are adept at communicating sometimes complex information, data and narratives through reports and presentations. You are also a stickler for delivering projects to time, to budget and to target. Above all, you enjoy working collaboratively, sharing your skills and experience with others, and always appreciate opportunities to learn.

Why Join?

At Creative United, you’ll be part of a values-led organisation where creativity, integrity, inclusivity, and entrepreneurial thinking are at the heart of everything. You’ll have the chance to influence the strategic direction of a respected social enterprise, working in a supportive environment that values your ideas and expertise.
