We're seeking a meticulous, creatively driven Publications & Content Editor to join us for Sydney Festival 2026.
You'll take charge of writing and editing compelling content across our programs, brochures, event daybills, website and more – all while keeping our brand voice sharp, clear and consistent. You'll manage artist communications, oversee print production timelines, wrangle approvals and collaborate with writers, designers and internal teams to deliver high-quality content and publications.
What we're looking for:
You’re a confident communicator with a hawk’s eye for detail. You can effortlessly shift between project managing a brochure, commissioning a feature article and finessing copy for an Instagram caption - all while keeping budgets on track and timelines ticking.
You're deadline-driven, organised and thrive in a fast-paced environment where arts and ideas take centre stage. You know how to manage competing priorities and love contributing to a bold, creative campaign.

• Demonstrated experience in print management: from brief, through design to proofing and delivery
• Demonstrated experience in marketing campaign delivery, preferably within the arts industry
• Exceptional attention to detail, with strong organisational and time management skills
• Strong customer focus in dealing with internal and external stakeholders
How to apply:
If this sounds like you, send your CV and cover letter to marketing.jobs@sydneyfestival.org.au by midnight, Wednesday 30 July. Early applications are encouraged, and we may appoint before the closing date.
