Festival Producer (Freelance), Inspirate

The Festival Producer will manage the full production cycle of An Indian Summer festival - from scheduling, logistics and artist coordination, to on-site delivery and supporting evaluation.

Working closely with the Executive Producer, the role will oversee multi-partner events, ensuring that each event is produced to the highest artistic, operational and safety standards.

This role requires a confident project manager who combines strong production and event expertise with an ability to communicate clearly, motivate teams and work collaboratively with artists, partners, contractors, suppliers and local authorities.

The Festival Producer will also be involved in licensing, permissions, risk assessments and addressing the relevant regulations for all festival activity.

Liaising closely with the Executive Producer and finance team, the role will include budget management, tracking expenditure and cost control.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative and evolving festival that celebrates and nurtures contemporary South Asian arts and culture.

The role is from mid-March to mid-July, working 30-40 days within this period. We envisage that the role will be 2 days a week, with a freelance rate of £220 a day, working between 10am - 6pm (8 hours per day).

The main festival weekend is 3-5th July, with the possibility of some smaller events happening in the week leading up to the festival weekend. The Festival Producer must be available to be on site (in Leicester) during this time.
