tiata fahodzi, Executive Producer
tiata fahodzi produces theatre that is fearless for a Britain of today; rich with languages, races, cultures and identities.
Founded in September 1997 by playwright and director Femi Elufowoju Jr and now under the direction of its fourth Artistic Director, playwright and director, Chinonyerem Odimba, this milestone year named ‘Year of the Artist’ marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation’s history.
We are looking for an Executive Producer to join us full-time as we embark on the next chapter of tiata fahodzi’s incredible legacy as a touring theatre company. The company is at an exciting moment of growth, with a number of new opportunities and projects in their early phases and a new strategy for development over the next three years currently being created. This is against the backdrop of an uplift in Arts Council England funding in the current NPO round, putting the company in a position of real strength and stability. Of course, growth brings with it greater complexity and demand on the team, and we’re looking for a brilliant Executive Producer to support the Artistic Director/CEO in steering us through this phase and into the future.
The Executive Producer role offers an opportunity to play an important part in the future of the company and would suit an experienced, capable and enthusiastic theatre professional. You will have a strong background in senior-level producing in theatre and/or other performing arts, an entrepreneurial approach, and a track record of negotiating and stewarding stakeholder relationships. The role would suit someone looking to develop their career as a leader within the theatre sector, and offers the chance to build experience as the sophistication and ambition of the programme grows in the coming years.
