Birmingham Royal Ballet is seeking a dynamic Communications & Partnerships Manager to lead internal communications, regional PR, and partnership activation. This newly created role is at one of the UK’s leading cultural institutions, working across Marketing, Digital, Design, Fundraising and with our national PR agency.
Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB) is one of the UK's leading cultural institutions, renowned for artistic excellence, technical innovation and a commitment to broadening access to ballet. Under the artistic leadership of Carlos Acosta, BRB is strengthening its communication, visibility and partnerships nationally and internationally.
As the new Communications & Partnerships Manager, you will play a central role in shaping how the company is seen, heard and understood across the UK and beyond. You’ll be the connective thread between our artistic work, our organisational priorities and the audiences, partners, and communities we serve.
Responsibilities
You will lead three key areas.
* Internal Communications – keeping our artists, staff and touring teams informed, aligned and inspired.
* Regional PR & Digital‑First Media – driving press and media activity for our national touring programme and building strong relationships with regional journalists, reviewers and influencers.
* Partnerships Activation – supporting and delivering brand and development partnerships that help extend BRB’s reach and support our fundraising ambitions.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across Marketing, Digital, Design, Fundraising and with our national PR agency, Bread & Butter PR, ensuring that BRB’s voice is consistent, compelling and strategically aligned. The role is hands‑on, varied and highly collaborative – one day you might be backstage gathering content or hosting press at a premiere, and the next you could be shaping a partnership campaign or drafting internal updates for the company.
If you’re a confident communicator, a natural relationship‑builder, and someone who enjoys bringing stories to life across different platforms, this is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of communications at one of the UK’s leading cultural institutions.
