The Head of Business Development is a key role within the Arts Council of Wales. The postholder will co-ordinate and provide high quality advice and services that will help our major arts organisations to develop their business and organisational capability.

Significant financial and business literacy is essential, along with the ability to assess, diagnose and address financial, managerial and operational issues.

The successful candidate will have proven experience of initiating, developing and implementing policy/procedures, governance and risk management. They will also have a working knowledge of the processes and skills needed to successfully manage capital projects.
