Southend Theatres

At the heart of Southend-on-Sea’s cultural life are the Cliffs Pavilion and the Palace Theatre - two iconic venues united by a shared passion for live entertainment.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Duty Managers are vital to the commercial success of Southend Theatres. Duty Managers play a pivotal role in the delivery of customer service and for the smooth and efficient day to day running of the venues’ operations during performances, events and daytime service. Collaborating across all teams, Duty Managers represent Southend Theatres as the main contact for the public and visiting companies. Duty Managers are the face of the operation, overseeing the provision of general security, porterage and cleaning, maintenance, health and safety, alongside delivering commercial success for the business.

ABOUT YOU

You are customer-focused and commercially savvy, with a strong working knowledge of theatre, events, or food and drink operations. You are comfortable operating in a highly commercial environment within a large corporate organisation.

You thrive in busy, fast-paced, and multifaceted settings, with the ability to think on your feet and positively influence the success of events and overall business performance.

You demonstrate a strong customer service ethos and a genuine commitment to delivering an excellent experience—consistently and without compromise.

Flexible, energetic, and resilient, you are results-focused and motivated by driving profitability and operational efficiency.

You communicate with professionalism and confidence, maintaining an excellent manner when engaging with the public, colleagues, stakeholders, and industry partners.

You adapt well to changing business needs and remain calm, focused, and effective under pressure.

You have proven experience in operational people management, including training and development, workforce deployment and rota management, and performance management.
