The successful applicant would be an advocate for the theatre, providing strategic management and creative vision and influence within the local and wider performing arts community as well as effectively managing its forward planning, strategy, programming and day-to-day business.

The Borough Theatre has recently returned to the ownership and management of Monmouthshire County Council.
