Push the Boat Out: Edinburgh's International Poetry Festival is a new platform for poetry, spoken word and performance which is entering its 4th year, and our first as a registered SCIO.

This is an exciting new post with significant opportunities to develop your skills both in festival programming and producing while contributing to our year round growth and delivery.

We’re looking for someone with the ideas, the contacts and the ambition to collaboratively co-create a programme which showcases brilliant contemporary Scottish and UK poetry, while exploring the creative potential of language, and poetry’s connections to other artforms more broadly.
