Punchdrunk

Widely recognised as the trailblazer that revolutionised immersive theatre, Punchdrunk has been at the forefront of groundbreaking performance for over 20 years. With recent sell-out productions such as Viola’s Room captivating audiences in London and New York and Sleep No More completing a record-breaking run in New York and Shanghai, Punchdrunk remains a global leader in immersive arts. The company’s reputation for innovative, audience-driven storytelling and its legacy of bold, creative experimentation places it at an exciting crossroads in its evolution.

With a rapidly growing pipeline of productions and shows running globally, Punchdrunk is seeking a Head of Producing & Planning to integrate into the department and facilitate the smooth, efficient, and sustainable delivery of multiple concurrent projects.

This is a lynchpin role – supporting the Co-Executive Producers with the strategic development and delivery of the company’s three-year plan, empowering the Senior Producers and wider team to achieve the company’s ambitious artistic and commercial goals, and engaging across departments to ensure strategic alignment, seamless planning, and operational excellence.

The ideal candidate is an experienced team leader and producer with strong administrative, financial, and business skills. They will thrive in collaborative settings – championing inclusive practices and a culture of sustainability and innovation. They will be able to navigate a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment and embed robust systems for planning, scheduling, budgeting, and contracting to provide structure to support the necessarily reactive nature of the work.
