Closing date: Sunday 12th January, 5pmSalary: £43,500 - £46,000 per annum pro rataContract: Two-year contract, with extension confirmed with at least three months’ notice.Hours: Option for a contract of 4 or 5 days per week as preferred.&nbsp;Location: Good Chance Offices in Shoreditch (E1 6LA) with remote working 1 - 2 days per week.&nbsp;Good Chance is seeking an exceptional artist to become our deputy artistic director!We’re looking for someone who shares our passion for using the power of theatre to change lives and minds, to create surprising stories that spark new conversations and encourage action on complex urgent issues of our time. The Deputy Artistic Director will work closely with our Co-Artistic Directors to bring their artistic vision for the company to life and, with the Executive Director, other members of the Senior Leadership Team and wider team and partners, work to deliver this vision through our productions, public artworks and artist development programmes, including leading on specific projects of their own.As a company which has, from its inception, created pioneering work with artists from refugee and migrant backgrounds around the world, we are particularly interested in hearing from applicants with lived or close experience of displacement and migration.Our founders Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson continue to balance their roles as Co-Artistic Directors with their writing commitments (much of which is for Good Chance projects), working roughly one day per week outside of their writing with occasional longer periods focusing more solely on other projects.

Within this collaboratively agreed vision, the Deputy Artistic Director will help to lead the development of productions, public artworks and artist development initiatives that reflect our ethos and values. As well as being a constant artistic voice for the wider team and providing day-to-day artistic oversight, the successful applicant will have major scope and support to initiate and lead their own new projects and productions, bringing fresh ideas as a key creative force within the organisation. We see this as a role with considerable opportunity for growth and expansion, and are looking for a candidate keen to embrace this.&nbsp;This role comes at an incredibly exciting time for the company; our production of Kyoto opens in the West End in January 2025 in co-production with the RSC, with more major theatre productions in the pipeline for 2026 and 2027 and scope for more productions at small, mid and large scale. It is also a time for creative generation as the close of 2024 marks the end of our 2022-2024 programme of delivery, meaning the Deputy Artistic Director will be central to the development and delivery of Good Chance’s ambitious artistic programme 2025-2027 and beyond. This will include developing our artist development strand of work and our next major international public artwork for 2026/27.
