Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival is seeking a highly organised, intuitive and collaborative Marketing & Digital Manager to join the permanent AAF team.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for devising and executing digital marketing strategy both through the year and in the lead up to the Festival – specifically, with a digital focus on content calendars, email, social media and advertising campaigns, and the Festival website. You’ll manage the creation and flow of content and advertising in this space, know how to use analytics to maximise engagement, and be able to think both practically and creatively about how to grow our following and reach new audiences.

You’ll need a solid footing in content creation, copywriting, communications and system management to support all of the above.

Based in our central Auckland office, no two days will be the same. You’ll need a calm head and the ability to effectively manage a varied and sometimes pressured workload as the team approaches important milestones such as the programme launch, the opening of the Festival, and our manaakitanga towards artists and audiences joining us in March.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:

Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival, is a major celebration of the arts, culture and creative expression. We invite both international and local artists to perform over 18 days of events, in central venues around Aotea Square to spaces and places all over Tāmaki Makaurau. It’s a festival for everyone, every March.

Working at the Festival isn’t just a day job – it’s being part of a supportive, extended whānau that includes dedicated arts and events industry professionals, vital creative communities, and incredible artists from all over Aotearoa and around the world. 

At the Festival, you’ll work towards putting on life-changing live performances and events – we believe art has the power to impact the way we think and feel about the world – and help people from all walks of life, and from all corners of Auckland, access those experiences.

The Festival is a workplace for individuals of all backgrounds, identities and orientations. We are committed to accessibility, equity and inclusivity alongside our responsibility to uphold the mana of te ao Māori through both the mahi we do in the industry, and our practices and engagement as a leading arts organisation.

While the roles we advertise require specific skills and experience, you do not need to tick every box to be considered. Our industry is made up of passionate individuals who serve the arts, and regardless of which sector you may come from, we welcome any applicants who are serious about joining us on this mission.
