The National Theatre (NT) is an extraordinary creative hub, where brilliant plays are nurtured and staged by exceptional theatre-makers and shared with the world. We champion creativity in education, in work and for life.
The magic of the National Theatre is that there is nowhere else like it. On London's South Bank: with three world-class auditoriums, the productions serviced by in-house producers, casting, music, technical and making teams in our theatrical craft workshops, a suite of studios and rehearsal rooms, a dedicated learning centre and digital studio, three restaurants, cafes, bars and the largest theatre bookshop in the UK.
It is a place that generates and attracts outstanding levels of creative energy. Our shows represent and interpret the world around us, for local, national and international audiences. It is a place people are proud to support.
The National Theatre is seeking candidates for the role of Director and Chief Executive.
The Director will report to the Board of the NT and will have responsibility for the artistic, business and organisational leadership of one of the world’s most ambitious, successful and complex performing arts organisations. Key to success is a clear, compelling and cohesive artistic vision for the National Theatre that responds to the world we live in today and supports future success and impact. The NT is open to any permutation of application, be it a single lead applicant, a joint application or a single applicant with a team of strong Associates or an option we haven’t listed.
