This position is based in Covent Garden but requires regular work in other locations of England, working 5 out of 7 days with occasional weekend and evening work.

We are home to three of the world`s great performing art companies: The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. We tell stories that speak to the universal themes that move us all, from the great works of the past to new commissions, reflecting contemporary culture and concerns. Our theatres are in London`s Covent Garden, but our work is accessed and experienced across the UK and globally through touring partnerships, cinema programmes, radio, TV and online streaming.

Learning and Participation (L&P) is central to ROH`s mission to enrich the cultural life of the nation. An extensive programme, based at our Covent Garden and Thurrock homes and across England, aims to inspire creativity and give people of all ages the chance to discover, question and respond to the power of our artforms.

The L&P programme is distinctive in its scale and ambitions, involving more than 50,000 annual participants across three strands:

an award-winning, multi-disciplinary National Schools Programme, which encompasses our role in supporting important school and pupil outcomes via our Create & Learn classroom schemes and teacher training, as well as our role as a `Bridge` organisation with specific focus in the East of England,

talent development work through opera and ballet training networks, and

enriching participatory events in our Covent Garden home.

We are seeking to appoint to the newly created role of Digital Strategy Manager within our National Schools Programme. This role will suit a candidate who has a passion for the performing arts, with a working knowledge of opera/ballet repertoire being highly regarded.

The successful post holder will be a digital expert, with a dynamic approach to creative content, who can build strong, effective working relationships cross functionally. They will also be able to demonstrate the following:

Strong track record of producing best-in-class digital content in a matrixed environment, with subject matter expertise in content, marketing, and digital product development, and strong understanding of analytics, growth and web product effectiveness.

Advanced project management skills, with effective leadership using standard collaboration tools (MS Office, Teams, Slack, Trello, Jira), user insights software (Google Analytics, Data Studio, Tableau, Hotjar), CMS systems, and UX/Product design tools.

Strong understanding of the current educational context, and tools and technology used by schools and teachers.

Strong communication skills (verbal and written) with the ability to influence stakeholders using logic and data. Excellent written skills, including copy-editing and experience of writing for digital platforms.

Ability to work effectively within a team and develop strong relationships with colleagues in various partner teams, at all levels of the organisation
