Hampstead Theatre is seeking an experienced and collaborative Head of Stage to lead stage operations across our Main Stage and Studio productions.

Reporting to the Technical Director, you will oversee the planning and delivery of all stage activity, managing permanent and freelance staff, and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of stage and flying systems.

You will play a key role throughout the production process-from rehearsals and fit-ups to performances and get-outs-working closely with Production Managers, designers and visiting companies to deliver high-quality productions.

This role requires a hands-on leader with strong technical expertise in scenic construction, rigging and stage systems, alongside excellent people management skills. You will be responsible for maintaining stage equipment, supporting Health & Safety compliance, managing budgets, and developing your team.
