The EIFF has a leading industry profile internationally and within the Festival City of Edinburgh is a vital part of our nation’s cultural offering.
In applying for the position, you should possess a deep knowledge of film and have extensive and relevant international relationships and contacts. You will already be regarded as a leading and authoritative figure within the industry and will have knowledge of the current evolution of foreign film festivals and the commercial challenges they presently face.
You will have the ability to manage and develop relationships with all stakeholders including screen and cultural agencies, the film industry, local and national press, local and national government as well as the CMI Board of Trustees, which governs the EIFF.
The full-time position of Artistic Director is based in Edinburgh and reports directly to the CEO of the CMI. The initial contract is for one year with an evaluation after this period and the salary is competitive and commensurate with the seniority and responsibility of the role.
