Publications & Content Editor

Calling all writers and editors! We're looking for a meticulous, creatively driven Publications & Content Editor to join us in bringing Sydney Festival 2027 to fruition.

What you'll do

You'll take charge of writing and editing compelling content across our programs, brochures, event daybills, website and more – all while keeping our brand voice sharp, clear and consistent. You'll manage artist communications, oversee print production timelines, wrangle approvals and collaborate with writers, designers and internal teams to deliver high-quality content and publications.

Who we're looking for

You’re a confident communicator with a hawk’s eye for detail. You can effortlessly shift between project managing a brochure, commissioning a feature article and finessing copy for an Instagram caption – all while keeping budgets on track and timelines ticking.

You're deadline-driven, organised and thrive in a fast-paced environment where arts and ideas take centre stage. You know how to manage competing priorities and love contributing to a bold, creative campaign.
