To be successful in this role you will need to have excellent writing skills, the ability to be adaptable whilst working to deadlines, experience of working within set budgets, have great relationship building and fundraising skills and be willing to travel with the company from time to time.
Footnote New Zealand Dance is core-funded by Creative New Zealand, with additional support from Wellington City Council, a variety of Trusts, Foundations and our incredible individual supporters network.
