As our Programming Manager at Untitled Group, you are at the centre of what we do best: creating unforgettable experiences.

You live and breathe music, culture, and live events. You know what’s next before it hits, you’ve got a sharp commercial lens, and you thrive in the fast-moving, high-pressure world of programming and bookings.

You’re equal parts creative and commercial, able to curate credible, diverse lineups while keeping a relentless focus on ticket sales, audience experience, and profitability. You’re confident working with artists, agents and promoters, and you bring strong relationships (or the ability to build them quickly).

You’re highly organised, detail-oriented, and thrive when juggling multiple venues, festivals and timelines. You’re someone who takes ownership, pushes boundaries, and finds opportunities others miss.
