Join the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and help bring extraordinary musical experiences to audiences across South Australia. We are seeking an experienced and collaborative marketing professional to step into the role of Acting Marketing Manager during a period of internal secondment. Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you will manage the day-to-day delivery of marketing and communications activity across the ASO's concert program, subscription campaigns and audience engagement initiatives.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to one of Australia's leading arts organisations, managing impactful marketing campaigns that support audience growth, engagement and ticket sales.

Your key responsibilities will be:

- Work alongside our agencies to deliver advertising campaigns across digital and traditional channels using data to maximise performance.

- Oversee subscription and direct marketing campaigns from planning through to reporting.

- Support the delivery of major ASO events, including season launches and audience engagement initiatives.

- Provide day-to-day leadership and support to the Marketing Coordinator and Graphic Designer.

About You:

You are a creative, commercially minded marketing skilled who thrives on bringing campaigns to life. With strong experience developing and delivering integrated marketing campaigns, you know how to turn ideas into engaging activity that drives audience growth and commercial results.

You are confident briefing and managing creative and media agencies, bringing clear direction while encouraging fresh thinking and current approaches. Curious and proactive, you enjoy challenging the status quo, experimenting with new ideas and finding better ways to connect with audiences.





You combine creativity with strong organisational skills, digital marketing expertise and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

You don't need a background in the arts to succeed in this role. We're looking for someone who brings fresh perspectives, a willingness to try recent things and a genuine enthusiasm for connecting audiences with great experiences. Previous people leadership experience will be highly regarded.
