Job summary

After a successful pre-pandemic pilot exploring the potential relationship between Games/interactive media and the British Council’s arts and cultural relations programme, we’re now ready to start playing full time – and we’re looking for someone to help us do it.

The British Council is the UK’s cultural relations agency – we build trust between people in the UK and people everywhere else – and a big part of that programme involves the arts and creative industries.

Job description

We’re looking for someone to join us as a Creative Technology Relationship Manager. This role will help develop long-term relationships with the UK’s creative technology and games sectors, and design a programme that supports the UK’s players to internationalise, fostering an environment which encourages creative collaboration with international peers. 

If this is you, you’ll be responsible for developing the British Council’s role as broker for the creative technologies sector internationally; you’ll work to further the British Council’s role as a policy shaper, promoting the recognition and support of creative technology and games as vectors of British art and culture; and you’ll support international programme ideas working with colleagues in over 100 countries.

This is a fantastically exciting opportunity to activate and develop the British Council’s approach to creative technology; to explore how new interactive processes – VR, AR, AI, XR – overlap and intersect with conventional art forms; and to champion the dynamism of the UK’s creative technology sectors on the world stage. 

 

 

Person specification

–    in-depth knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the contemporary UK creative technology landscape
–    the ability to make critical judgements across different genres
–    the enthusiasm to explore the ways these rapidly evolving forms can play an ongoing part in the British Council’s cultural relations mission
–    an excellent network of current contacts across the UK creative technology sectors
–    a track record of delivering creative technology/gaming projects at varying scales, ideally internationally.
Benefits include, but are not limited to: 
•    32 days annual leave, in addition to public holidays
•    3 days volunteering leave
•    Career average defined benefit pension scheme
•    An unrivalled opportunity for you to get to use all the experience you’ve built up working in and/or leading global organisations to support us in building trust across the world
