THIS JOB HAS NOW CLOSED

The opportunity

Established at University of the Arts London, the AKO Storytelling Institute works at the intersection of artistic practice and social change, with a mission to enable storytellers and campaigners to have greater social impact.

Artists and campaigners have long used creative means to build public awareness and influence policy making, but the methods through which to do this and how to evaluate its effectiveness are dispersed and, in places, lacking.

The AKO Storytelling Institute will build a discipline for storytelling-for-change through practice, research and dissemination, to enable storytellers and campaigners to have the real world change they want, and to be able to recognise they are achieving it. 

In autumn 2023 we will launch a fellowship programme to experiment in new narrative and creative forms for storytelling-for-change.

The ultimate aim in developing the discipline of purpose-led storytelling and through this we believe we can inspire and enable successful collaborations between campaigners and artists around the world.

Reporting to the new AKO Storytelling Institute Director, the Institute Manager will oversee the operational delivery and management of the Institute as well as develop the strategy of the Institute with its Director.

About you

The AKO Storytelling Institute Manager will play a key leadership role in building the strategy with the Institute Director, and ensuring the Institute’s smooth running.

You will have in depth knowledge of core operations and process management activities such as administration, risk management, finance, HR and quality assurance.

You will have experience of business planning and business processes and knowledge of the dynamics of the HE sector.

We are looking for someone with significant leadership and management experience at a senior level who has worked in the arts, media, communications or campaigning for social change, and welcome applicants from a diverse or unusual background.

You will have delivered successful strategic and operational leadership and management in a complex organisational environment working with multiple stakeholders.

If you have any queries about this role or need any reasonable adjustments for your application, please contact Twinkle Brahmbhatt, Senior Resourcing Adviser via email at Socialpurposestaffrecruitment@arts.ac.uk.
