Based at 100 Story Building HQ in Footscray, offsite work when required.
Full-time Leadership Role | Big Ideas + Bigger Impact
Do you believe storytelling can change the world? Can you wrangle a wild idea into a well-run program and inspire a team while doing it? If you're a creative powerhouse with a strategic brain and a heart for community, we want you to be part of our story.
At 100 Story Building, we run programs that spark imaginations, empower young people, and champion equity through the art of storytelling. Now, we’re looking for a Creative Programs Manager to take the reins of our programming universe – designing, developing, and delivering inclusive and impactful creative experiences for children and young people.
Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):
Lead the charge in designing and delivering creative programs that inspire and empower.
Drive strategy and manage projects with precision and purpose.
Champion co-design – working hand-in-hand with young people, schools, and partners to make magic.
Dream up and pilot new initiatives that respond to community needs.
Keep things inclusive, bold, culturally rich and a little bit adventurous.
Lead a small but mighty team with empathy, creativity, and vision.
Collaborate on grants, reports, and other fun paperwork that helps us keep doing what we do.
You’re perfect for this role if you:
Have a strong background in creative program management and leadership.
Are a confident project wrangler and budget tamer.
Believe in the power of story to shift hearts, minds, and futures.
Have a track record of working collaboratively and inclusively.
Know your way around the arts, education and/or community sectors.
Aren’t afraid to take creative risks – and encourage others to do the same.
What you’ll get:
A chance to shape one of Australia’s most unique creative organisations.
A leadership role that values heart, humour, and creativity.
The joy of working with brilliant and curious young storytellers.
A creative, supportive team that champions social equity and sustainability.
