Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced communication and editorial professional with strong project management skills and a proven track record in coordinating the production of editorial content.

At FUTURES, content and communication go hand in hand. Our exhibitions, residencies, educational programmes, publications and public events generate stories, knowledge and conversations that together shape our public profile. We are therefore looking for someone who understands both the development of content and how it can be translated into meaningful communication across different channels.

Working closely with the Artistic Director and Director, you will coordinate the production of editorial and communication outputs from planning to delivery. While the artistic vision, editorial direction and communication strategy are developed by the directors, you are responsible for turning these into well-organised, high-quality productions.

This role requires someone who can coordinate multiple projects simultaneously, work confidently with artists, curators, writers and designers, oversee production processes, and contribute editorially when needed by editing or writing copy.
