Show Account Executive - Portishead, United Kingdom - Gripping Theatre Group

Description

Would you like to join one of the UK's leading theatre production and promotion companies?

Prestige Productions Ltd, part of the Gripping Theatre Productions Ltd group, is looking for a proactive and methodical individual to manage the day-to-day administration of some of our theatre productions.

The role is based at our bright and modern head office in Portishead, Bristol.


About us
We produce and promote theatre shows which tour both in the UK, as well as internationally.

Our stable of shows is varied and includes Seven Drunken Nights, Some Guys Have All The Luck - The Rod Stewart Story, Fairytale of New York and Walk Right Back - The Everly Brothers Story.

Our flagship production, That'll Be The Day, has built a long-standing reputation for delivering quality entertainment - the legendary show has performed to over five million people, including several super fans who have seen the show over 500 times.

About the role
As Show Account Executive, you will have day-to-day responsibility for a small portfolio of theatre shows.

With support from the Programming & Office Manager, you will secure and contract tour dates with theatres across the UK (and overseas as the role dictates), liaise with the marketing teams to ensure shows are placed on sale in good time, request and process theatre financial settlements, and raise and send invoices to facilitate prompt payment from the theatres.

This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same. Highly organised and self-motivated, you need to be able to think on your feet and work well under pressure.

We are an expanding team so the willingness to pull together when necessary is essential, but you will also need to work independently and proactively using your own initiative.

You will need good knowledge of MS Office, Outlook and Teams, as well as strong communication skills, both written and verbal.

Experience of theatre productions or shows and an interest in theatre is highly desirable.
