We’re on a mission to create inspirational moments that excite, engage and leave a long lasting legacy, and our Cultural Festival is a key part of that.

- The Power of Public Art – five public art commissions.
- The Power of Anthem – a music and video commission with young people’s participation.
- The Power of Connection – a wide-spread cultural engagement programme through Libraries Connected.
We’re looking for someone with excellent project management skills and experience of delivering large scale arts and culture activity and / or complex projects.
RLWC2021 office is in Manchester city centre, however there is flexibility for the role to be home based. The ability to travel to / between the five cities involved in the project is essential.
The role is a full time role, fixed term until 31.12.21 with an immediate start. Salary is £30,000 (pro rata).
