Reporting to: Head of Marketing

Location: Scarborough

The Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) is a producing theatre based in Scarborough. It has a national and international reputation, and offers a year-round programme of high-quality theatre and film, together with a wide-range of participatory activity across the town and the region.

The past four years have been a period of huge growth in terms of audiences and profile. Attendances have increased by over 240% since 2021/22 and last year, two of our in-house produced shows were in our top ten best-selling ever. Our work is continuing to gain national and international recognition, including two separate UK Theatre Awards and we regularly co-produce with venues around the country including The Orange Tree, Richmond, Theatr Clwyd, Live Theatre and Shakespeare North Playhouse.

We have a hugely busy programme here; over 300 live performances each year, as well as nearly 400 screenings and live streamings in our cinema. We create two season brochures every year plus monthly cinema flyers and we design and produce imagery for all of our in-house productions. Our social media profile is growing – but we can always do more – and we are starting to explore audience segmentation, so that we can tailor our messaging in the right way.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but there is still lots to do. This is where you come in – a creative and proactive Marketing Officer with a real understanding of digital marketing and communications, and strong copywriting skills . You’ll be a member of a small team, but will also work with all departments at SJT to ensure that our audience engagement strategies are delivered consistently across the organisation.
