Marketing & Development Manager

Rosehill takes an ethical, values-led approach to marketing and development. We believe that our drive to build sustainable financial resilience must always align with our vision to bring about positive and lasting cultural and social impact in West Cumbria, where everyone can access high-quality arts and cultural experiences.

We aim to promote well-being, enjoyment, and togetherness through socially responsive, community-minded, thought-provoking, and place-inspired cultural experiences and development opportunities.

This is a new and wide-reaching role for the organisation and carries a blend of strategic and tactical responsibilities. As the role offers an opportunity to impact the financial performance of the organisation positively, we hope that the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their own team as the organisation grows.

This is an opportunity to join the team at an exciting time in our organisational development following a period of transformative R&D and the recent appointment of the Executive Director & Joint CEO.

Our values

• We encourage artistic excellence, integrity, and creative risk-taking.

• We nurture new artists and visionary leaders and support the local cultural infrastructure.

• We promote inclusion, access, and a commitment to anti-racism.

• We foster dialogue with our communities and seek to create equitable cultural spaces.

• We care for the health and well-being of our community and each other.

• We look after our environment and work towards a carbon-neutral future.

• We are committed to improving the quality and appeal of what we do.
