Operations Director

Are you a visionary leader with a passion for arts and heritage?

Sampad South Asian Arts & Heritage are seeking an experienced Operations Director to drive our strategic vision, champion equality, diversity, and inclusion, and ensure the continued success of our dynamic programmes. Working alongside the CEO/Artistic Director and Board of Trustees, you’ll lead on business planning, financial management, fundraising, and governance while fostering a positive and inclusive workplace. This is an exciting moment to step into a key role in the organisation, and shape the future of a thriving arts charity.

Sampad connects people to South Asian and British Asian arts and heritage in a new and meaningful way. With a stellar 34-year track record with Piali Ray, Founder at its helm, the organisation is entering a new chapter, with Niti Pall as recently appointed Chair. We have an exciting line up of projects in prospect, using a variety of art forms and working with a range of communities in the region.​

At Sampad, we believe in the power of arts and heritage to bring communities together. We celebrate South Asian arts and heritage, break down barriers, and give a voice to those who may not be heard.​

Our track record includes dance, music, and theatre productions, as well as digital events and workshops in schools, communities, and outreach programmes. We also offer training for artists, cultural leaders, and young people.​

For over 30 years, we’ve been championing British Asian arts, pushing boundaries, and contributing to mainstream culture in the UK. We support a wide range of activities inspired by art forms originating from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka and emerging British Asian artistic voices.​
