​Two exciting contract opportunities. One exceptional project.

​

Brisbane Chamber Choir is seeking applications for two project-based contract positions to deliver our flagship performance of Handel's Messiah at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

​

We are recruiting for:

​

Project Manager
Lead the planning, coordination and delivery of the entire project from commencement through to final performance.

​​

​

Marketing Manager
Develop and implement the marketing strategy, grow audiences, manage publicity and help achieve ticket sales targets.

​​

​

For an exceptional applicant with experience across both project delivery and marketing, these roles may be combined into a single, larger contract.

​​

​

​

Both positions are offered as fixed-fee contracts with clearly defined deliverables and the opportunity to earn performance bonuses through agreed KPIs.

​

This is not an administrative role. We are looking for experienced professionals who enjoy taking ownership, solving problems, working independently and delivering outstanding results.
