3 weeks ago


Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Sound City Full time

Sound City stands as the leading advocate for emerging music talent in the UK, recognized globally for its music festival and talent development initiatives, while serving as an international representative of Liverpool's rich cultural heritage.

Since our inception in 2007, we have orchestrated a variety of events across the UK, Europe, America, and Asia, crafting cultural experiences that resonate with diverse audiences and facilitating transformative music-making opportunities for marginalized and underrepresented youth.

Our Vision: To foster a world where the transformative influence of music is accessible to all.

Our Mission: To empower more artists and industry professionals to thrive, work, and receive training within the Liverpool City Region, while promoting diversity within the music sector.

Over the years, we have showcased over 7,000 artists to an audience of 550,000 both locally and internationally. Our platform has been pivotal for many successful artists, including notable names like Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, and Jamie Webster.

We have contributed to the creation of 200 jobs, supported 42 start-ups, and mentored more than 200 artists and 1,000 young individuals who have gone on to achieve significant milestones in their music careers.

As an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) since 2018, we are on a path to achieving full charitable status.

We are currently looking to recruit additional volunteer Board Members who possess specialized knowledge and experience in the following domains:

  • Environmental Sustainability and Responsibility
  • Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI), and Justice
  • Charitable Governance and Financial Oversight

We also welcome applications from other passionate individuals who are committed to our vision and mission, particularly those who represent key stakeholder groups, including young people (aged 18-25), emerging artists, and music industry professionals from minority, underrepresented, and disadvantaged backgrounds in the North of England.

This role is voluntary, with reasonable expenses covered (e.g., travel for in-person meetings or training/networking events). Board members are expected to commit a minimum of around 3 days (24 hours) per year, with opportunities for greater involvement in optional activities:

  • Attendance at quarterly board meetings - typically lasting 2 hours each, either online or in person, with preparatory reading. Meeting times are periodically reviewed for member convenience.
  • Engagement in subcommittees or working groups - focusing on specific governance areas (e.g., finance) or adhering to ACE Investment Principles. This may involve taking a lead role in areas aligned with your expertise or collaborating with staff members responsible for day-to-day operations.
  • Participation in training and networking events - including our annual festival and conference, along with tailored training sessions aimed at enhancing board members' skills and knowledge in areas such as charitable governance and EDI.
  • Optional mentoring opportunities - either for Sound City team members or participants in our various educational and development programs.

If you resonate with our mission and believe you can contribute to Sound City, we encourage you to submit your CV or biography along with a brief statement on what you can bring to our Board.
