London, United Kingdom ROYAL BALLET AND OPERA Full time

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts - we may be a House, but three quarters of our audience experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world. None of this would be possible without the exceptional team of people who work here. People are centre stage of everything we do at RBO, and our Human Resources department work across the organisation, ensuring that in every department we have to right people in place who are supported to deliver their work to their fullest capacity.

We have a fantastic opportunity at RBO in the new role of Head of ED&I. We are looking for an exceptional individual to play a central role in refreshing and bringing into action our ED&I strategy in all its facets - creative, audience, staff, artists and freelancers. Working to our Chief People Officer you lead on transformative and ambitious EDI initiatives, ensuring that RBO is a great place to work.

The role will work closely with a senior steering group and in partnership with our staff and artist diversity networks to achieve commitment and buy in and with the Artistic companies and other colleagues to deliver in practice.

You will have worked at a senior level in other purpose driven organisations and achieved success in partnership with multiple stakeholders. We`re looking for someone skilled in managing and delivering projects and who can use data and insights to make a real impact. You will also be a collaborative leader, with strong influencing skills and the ability to foster a culture of belonging and respect within an organisation.

Can you demonstrate any of the following:

  • Evidence of continued professional development, particularly in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion expertise.
  • Proven experience in leading and delivering ED&I initiatives from inception, in a complex organisation.
  • Strong knowledge and understanding of ED&I principles, key legislation, ED&I professional networks, and best practices.
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills and experience in data analysis and reporting.
  • Passion for creating a positive and inclusive workplace using strategies for eliminating racism, discrimination and exclusion.
  • Ability to handle sensitive situations with discretion and professionalism.
