About the Roundhouse
Roundhouse is an iconic music and arts venue in Camden. Since the 1960s we’ve opened up space for creativity to empower people and communities – day in, night out. We’re on a mission to raise the creative potential of the UK so we give young people and artists the space to experiment, develop skills and be part of incredible moments that go down in history.
The Role
The Senior Music Programmer is responsible for managing the diary, negotiating venue hire agreements with promoters and then overseeing the planning, delivery and execution of all Roundhouse commercial music events.
Once a gig is contracted, this role acts as the account manager to the promoters who hire the venue to ensure that the ticketing, marketing, operations and financial functions of the Roundhouse all deliver their services excellently so that the promoter has a positive experience when staging a gig at our venue.
The Music team is part of the wider Commercial team at the Roundhouse. This role reports to the Head of Music and has one direct report – the Music Events Manager – who assists with the finalisation of contracts and the delivery and execution of commercial music events.
The Senior Music Programmer will work proactively to achieve agreed budget figures for the financial year, minimising dark days and maximising income generating opportunities whilst meeting EDI targets, maintaining high artistic quality and identifying new promoters, event types, and new hire models to support the above.
Weekend and evening work will be required according to business needs.
