Freemuse – the world’s leading organisation defending artistic freedom – requires a dynamic, skilled and experienced person to head the organisation, which is based in Copenhagen.
The Executive Director is responsible for developing and implementing Freemuse’s strategic vision, ensuring necessary funding and representing Freemuse in meetings with donors, policy makers and the extensive Freemuse network.
The Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee (The Board of Freemuse) and is responsible for leading a team of approx. five at the Copenhagen secretariat and three Programme Officers overseas.
The current Executive Director, a co-founder of Freemuse, will retire early 2017 and will assist the incoming Executive Director during a short period of handover and transition.
Funding for Freemuse’s core programmes and secretariat is secured for the current project period 2016-2018 and a programme of work has been agreed with key stakeholders for this period.
