The Opportunity

Join Europe’s largest arts centre and lead the national conversation. As Head of Literature and Spoken Word you won't just programme a season – we need you to shape culture.

We are looking for an exceptional creative leader to curate and deliver over 150 extraordinary events each year. From electrifying live poetry and interdisciplinary performance to high-profile talks, debates, and major cultural moments, you will steer a year-round artistic programme where words transform, challenge, and inspire.

You will lead our strategy to redress the national decline in reading, help make writers careers sustainable and position Southbank Centre at the heart of the national conversation.

You’ll take the lead of our world-renowned annual London Literature Festival (co-curated this year with Dua Lipa) and pioneer high-impact partnerships, such as our current work with Goalhanger to produce The Rest Is Fest.

You’ll build powerful alliances across publishing, agency, and literary networks. You will nurture ground-breaking, diverse new voices and work with our Audiences team to ensure our digital content strategy reaches global audiences.

Who You Are

You are a dynamic champion of literature in all its forms, driven by an ambitious vision for public engagement. You believe passionately that literature and spoken word belong to everyone, possess the power to transcend artistic disciplines, and must speak directly to the urgent, complex world we live in today.
