Work With Us

Projects developed at BAC can also be found in our communities and on tour across the UK and the world.

We offer flexible and remote working, as well as a chill out space to take time out during work hours.

Systems & Business Innovation Manager
We are looking for someone organised and tech-savvy to take on the new role of Systems and Innovation Manager.
This role will lead the development and implementation of projects that improve our internal systems, processes, and digital tools. This role is crucial in driving operational excellence and ensuring we remain agile in a rapidly evolving sector.
The role will be joining a team with a high appetite for innovation and change, but a lack of capacity to deliver it, resulting from a two-year programme to digitise the organisation.
Applications close 10am 21 July 2025. Successful shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an initial interview on 31 July 2025. We can provide a BSL interpreter if required.
Tech Innovation Tender
Battersea Arts Centre (BAC) is midway through a multi-phase Tech Innovation Programme, funded by the Fidelity Foundation, which is transforming our digital infrastructure and data culture. Phase 1 migrated BAC to Microsoft 365, launched three Power BI dashboards, and embedded an evaluation framework that is already improving decision-making .
Phase 2 builds on these foundations to:
- Extend systems adoption across Finance, Enterprises, Fundraising and Sales
- Upskill staff through structured training and cascade learning
- Develop replicable products (processes, dashboards, IP) that could generate new income for BAC and the wider cultural sector
We now seek a partner who can help us complete the deliverables and, if desired, co-create innovative, market-ready tools alongside our team.
The submission Deadline is 22nd August 2025
How we use Equal Opportunity data
In your application we request that you answer a series of Equal Opportunity questions. The information you provide is not accessible by anyone outside of the BAC People Team and is used solely for monitoring our recruitment processes; it will not inform the selection process.
The only exception to this is to allow us to fulfil our promise as a Disability Confident Employer, where possible, offering an interview to all candidates meeting the minimum criteria who disclose a disability. Again, the data will remain confidential and only with the People Team
If you would rather not answer any or all the questions, you are welcome to select or write “prefer not to say”.
We ask these questions to help us measure how we are meeting our access and inclusion aims, as Battersea Arts Centre is committed to equality of opportunity for all job applicants and employees. The Equal Opportunities data from all our vacancies will be routinely pooled, anonymised, and then analysed, to measure our engagement with different demographics. We will then use this information to update and improve our outreach efforts in our processes.
Stance on AI
At BAC we understand that AI can be used as an access tool to aid with writing job applications. For those using AI programmes for their application, we ask that you make sure your answers reflect you and your work, and don’t simply mirror the job description or specification back to us.
Work Experience at BAC
Our applications for work experience in 2025 are now closed.
If you are interested in a work experience placement at BAC in July 2026, are aged 14-18, studying or living in the Borough of Wandsworth please email workexperience@bac.org.uk to express interest.
