After three decades of dedicated service and inspiring leadership, Steven Bode will step down from the role of Director later this year to take on a time-limited, part-time remit to help research and broker FVU’s forthcoming move outside London, to oversee and implement the projects he has initiated, and to facilitate the transition to a new Director.
The new Director will be responsible for setting the artistic vision and direction of FVU as it enters an exciting new chapter in its history, and for championing moving-image across the UK and beyond. They will also lead on matters of governance, finance and income development, holding accountability for the long-term financial sustainability of the organisation. The Director will set the tone for the overall health of FVU, including the wellbeing of its employees and its workplace culture.
The organisation’s model of operation as a nationwide agency is dependent on numerous national collaborations, and a key aspect of the Director’s role will be to build and sustain successful relationships with a number of partners around the UK.
Our ideal candidate will bring a vision that is rooted in FVU’s Mission, Principles and Values and builds on its unique history and position in the arts ecology, while ensuring it remains innovative, resilient and relevant. They will balance bold and imaginative programme ambitions with fiscal realities, ensuring that the organisation is both dynamic and sustainable.
We are supportive of applicants for whom this role would represent a step up. We are also open to applications and proposals from job share candidates.
