THE HOUSE
For thousands of years, Tubowgule—the land where the Sydney Opera House now stands—has been a place of gathering and belonging. The Opera House continues this rich legacy, embracing and celebrating the diverse cultures of Australia. As a globally recognized icon, it symbolizes inspiration and imagination. Renowned as one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world and an architectural marvel of the 20th century, the Sydney Opera House is also the nation's most visited tourism destination.
From whimsical musicals to side-splitting comedies, stirring arias to ARIA Award-winners, majestic symphonies to relaxing sundowners, and engaging talks to playful puppet shows—there's something for everyone.
Behind the magic of the Sydney Opera House is a team of passionate and dedicated individuals. Here, you'll be surrounded by supportive colleagues who are committed to their work and the iconic building itself. There is nothing quite like it. We invite you to discover opportunities for personal and professional growth while making a positive impact on our community.
Drawing on the foundational idea that the Opera House was built to serve the community, our Sydney Opera House Strategy 2024-26 sets out the ambition to be Everyone's House. To achieve this we are focused on four themes:
* Everyone feels welcome here.
* We better understand and connect with the community.
* We are future ready.
* We lead and inspire positive change.

YOUR NEW ROLE
The Associate Producer, Contemporary Music working primarily to the direction of the Senior Producer, Contemporary Music, is a delivery-focused role project managing contemporary music performances through to a successful completion including generating budgets, modelling revenue options, negotiating financial arrangements and contracts, liaising with external tour managers and internal Production and Account Managers to ensure smooth on-ground delivery of performances and project managing the array of internal and external stakeholders involved.
