Each January Sydney Festival transforms our city, presenting a summer festival of art, music, dance, theatre and immersive experiences. We are proud of our long history of commissioning ground-breaking new Australian art.

The icing on the cake is we're a great place to work with many of the seasonal team returning regularly and a great office vibe. Apart from a fun permanent team that swells to over 100 during the festival, we enjoy killer harbour views, have one of the best coffee machines in the area and know how to put on a party.
