The Poetry Archive was co-founded by Sir Andrew Motion and Richard Carrington, and for more than a decade now we have been recording poets reading their work in order to build a unique online resource. 

We are based in the UK, but we reach across the whole world.  With recordings of poems by over 500 poets that truly represent the wealth and breadth of poetic voices from all backgrounds, and more than 1.7m visitors a year, we are now looking to build on our success even further.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and visionary Director to take us into our next phase of growth, ensuring we have a solid financial model while realising our ambition to make poetry accessible, relevant and enjoyable to as wide an audience as possible.
