If you are thinking of applying (or have applied) for this role we have put together a short guide about what to expect.
OverviewWe are looking for a passionate, thoughtful leader to join our team in the new role of Creative Lead. This person will be responsible for setting and maintaining design standards at Substrakt and will manage the people and processes involved in achieving this.
Why Join Substrakt?At Substrakt we believe that arts and culture enriches lives and brings society together. We want to ensure that amazing cultural experiences can be enjoyed as widely as possible by harnessing the power of digital technology.
Substrakt creates digital solutions for cultural organisations. The types of organisations we work with include theatres, performing arts centres, music venues, museums, galleries, and performance groups in Europe and North America.
We work with some of the most exciting and interesting cultural organisations in the world including Shakespeare’s Globe, Santa Fe Opera, Royal Court Theatre, American Repertory Theater, Bridge Theatre, Malmö Live and Malmö Opera amongst many others.
We also provide consultancy services and training on analytics, digital strategy, ticketing, project management and digital community events.
By supporting organisations with their digital needs, we enable them to reach new and wider audiences so that arts and culture can be accessed and enjoyed by everyone.
Role descriptionThe Creative Lead role is a new senior role at Substrakt. Because it is a new role we don’t want to be overly prescriptive about it as we would expect the person appointed to develop a strong vision for how they want to shape the role.
However there are a number of areas of our thinking and work that we would like this role to inform and lead on, and we think we have a clear idea of the type of person we are looking for.
This position would have a key role in leading and coaching the design amp; front-end development team at Substrakt, setting and maintaining a clearly articulated and understood approach to our design work (and accompanying standards) and talking about that work with clients and the wider design community.
All of our designers are also front-end developers and we would expect this person to also understand and have an appreciation for both sets of skills.
