Ticketing Coordinator
Every sold-out show, every standing ovation, every unforgettable night at Perth Festival begins with a ticket. We’re looking for a detail-oriented Ticketing Coordinator to support the ticketing function and keep our ticketing operations running smoothly, ensuring every audience member has a seamless experience from purchase to performance.
Reporting to the Ticketing & Experience Manager, you’ll manage day-to-day ticketing operations, including building and maintaining events in the ticketing system, handling customer enquiries, processing exchanges and refunds, coordinating customer communications, and providing reporting and data to support Festival delivery.

People and Culture Coordinator
Behind every extraordinary Festival is an extraordinary team, and our People & Culture Coordinator helps make sure that team thrives. We're looking for a sharp, people-focused HR professional to keep our people operations running smoothly throughout the year and during the high-energy Festival season.
Reporting to the People & Culture Director, you'll provide high-quality HR administration and coordination across the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through to workforce reporting, payroll liaison and employee experience initiatives.

Engagement Manager
This is a rare opportunity to lead community engagement strategy at Perth Festival, shaping how communities across Perth experience, participate in and contribute to one of the world's great arts events. If you're a skilled connector who believes art belongs to everyone, we want to hear from you.
Reporting to the Head of Programming, you'll develop and drive Perth Festival's community engagement strategy, building deep relationships, delivering participatory programs and ensuring diverse voices shape our Festival experience. You'll lead a small team and work with artists, community organisations and internal teams to create projects with lasting social and cultural impact.

Development Director
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Development Director leads Perth Festival's contributed revenue strategy, driving income through philanthropy, corporate sponsorship, government grants, major gifts, and individual giving programs. You will line manage the Philanthropy and Sponsorship teams and work closely with the Board and Executive to champion arts funding across Western Australia.

People and Culture Director
We're looking for a People & Culture Director who genuinely thrives at both ends of the spectrum, someone equally comfortable presenting a workforce strategy to the Board and personally drafting an employment contract or stepping in to resolve a complex ER matter hands-on.
Reporting directly to the CEO and sitting on Perth Festival's Executive Leadership Team, you'll provide strategic leadership of our people and culture function. But here's what makes this role different from a typical executive P&C brief: we're a lean, purpose-driven arts organisation. There is no large team behind you to handle the detail. You bring the vision and you do the work, from policy and compliance through to culture, capability and leadership development.

Chief Financial Officer
We’re looking for a commercially astute and purpose-driven Chief Financial Officer to join our Executive Leadership Team. This is a rare opportunity to apply your financial leadership skills in one of Australia’s most celebrated cultural organisations, shaping the financial sustainability of an institution that genuinely matters to Perth and to the world.
Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Board, you will provide strategic financial leadership across all aspects of the Festival’s operations, ensuring we remain financially resilient, well-governed and positioned to deliver extraordinary artistic experiences for years to come.
