Job Description

Could you be the marketing force behind a cultural renaissance at one of the North West's most beloved theatres?
This is a moment of reinvention and reconnection for Oldham Coliseum. They're building a theatre without walls - creating extraordinary experiences in theatres, parks, high streets and hearts. We need a talented and imaginative Marketing Manager to join them on the journey.
Location: Hybrid - Oldham office space, theatre and home
Contract: Permanent, 3 or 4 days per week
Salary: 35k FTE
Benefits: 30 days (including bank) and 3% employer pension contribution
Culture: Based on trust - grown-up, flexible and values-led
This is no ordinary marketing role.
You'll be part of a cultural reawakening, leading on campaigns that bring diverse audiences to theatrical experiences across Oldham. As a senior member of a small but mighty team, you'll champion the Coliseum's story through strategic, data-driven campaigns, compelling content and strong media relationships.
We don't expect you to come with it all.
But, we do need someone with solid marketing foundations and creative flair - someone excited by audience insight and the power of digital. You'll be trusted to shape voice, connect with new and existing communities, and play a vital role in driving income that fuels artistic vision and strengthens operational capacity.
About the role
You'll work closely with the CEO and creative team to lead multi-channel campaigns for original and visiting productions, manage digital presence, and produce engaging content across copy, imagery and video.
As the marcomms lead, you'll be a relationship-builder at heart. You'll forge meaningful connections with press, audiences and key stakeholders, to elevate Oldham Coliseum's profile and reach.
The role includes line management of a Marketing Assistant - ideal if you're ready to step into or build on leadership experience.
About you
We're looking for a passionate marketeer who is:

• Experienced in delivering creative, effective marketing campaigns
• Skilled in creating high-quality content for web, email and social media
• Data-informed and audience-focused
• A natural collaborator, energised by teamwork
• Positive and adaptable, ready to grow with the role

Experience in the arts or a creative setting is a plus, but not essential. What matters most is your drive to inspire audiences and bring the Coliseum's vision to life.
If you're someone who thrives in a high-autonomy, high-impact role and believes in the power of theatre to connect communities - then we want to hear from you.
