Job Introduction
The BBC Proms is the biggest classical music festival in the world. Every summer, we run over a hundred live events over two months at the Royal Albert Hall in London and venues across the UK.

The successful candidate will work and communicate with a wide range of people, from artists, ensembles, publishers and agents to a variety of BBC departments. The main duty in this role will be the administering of complimentary and promoter tickets but there will be many other tasks, which will be informed by the Business Coordinator. The Business team is a small, dynamic group that works very closely with Marketing, Communications and Live Events, and the successful candidate will have opportunities to grow their skills in these areas in the role, through tasks such as setting up systems, providing administrative support, and working at events throughout the Proms season.
