Chief Officer

HEY Creative is excited to be recruiting a new Chief Officer to lead HEY Creative into its next phase, unlocking even greater impact for the cultural sector of Hull & East Yorkshire through partnerships with business, education, healthcare and more.

HEY Creative is Hull & East Yorkshire’s Cultural Compact. Compacts are a model, established by Arts Council England and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), to support a place’s cultural sector to grow and develop through cross-sector partnerships and collaboration.

This role requires exceptional leadership, versatile advocacy and a nuanced understanding of both the cultural and regional landscape.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of developing effective partnerships, strategic thinking and collaboration. The Chief Officer will identify and maximise cross-sector partnerships to help culture flourish in our region by brokering and supporting ambitious new connections.

This is a senior strategic role, which will also continue to develop HEY Creative itself, including leading on marketing, fundraising and governance. This post reports to the Chair of HEY Creative’s Board.
