An ambitious leadership-oriented charity, we’re built on strong values, and those values make us who we are – Fearless, Inviting, Fair and Exciting.

The Role

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual who thrives on responsibility to join us as an Assistant Venue Manager at Carnegie Hall Theatre in Dunfermline.

As Assistant Venue Manager, you will be the key leader within Carnegie Hall, overseeing the day to day operation of the venue and ensuring the delivery of outstanding experiences for audiences, artists, promoters, and partners.

This role requires someone who can work independently and make informed decisions, as there is no senior manager permanently based at the venue. You will be trusted to take ownership of operational requirements, health & safety, compliance, licensing, safeguarding, operational procedures, administration, rotas, budgets, financial tasks and programming activity.

You will be a key front facing figure, responsible for the promotion of services within Carnegie Hall and be responsible for all aspects of people management of your team.

About You

We are looking for someone who combines strong operational expertise with excellent leadership and communication skills. You’ll be an experienced approachable people manager who thrives at a challenge, excels at building strong relationships and has a passion for providing excellent customer service, ideally within a Theatre, hospitality or visitor/customer facing venue.

You’ll also have strong IT skills along with a sound understanding of Health & Safety, Licensing and venue operations. You will have good commercial awareness and experience in managing budgets and financial performance. You will be confident in working independently and have a proactive, solutions focused approach with the ability to remain calm under pressure.
