MPA Seeks Managing Director

Manchester's organisation for the creative, digital, film and media sector, has now launched the search for its first paid employee in its 90-year history.
The MPA are looking for a Managing Director to spearhead its exiting new strategy.
The organisation is set to undergo significant changes over the next few months, which will enable the MPA to achieve its aim of facilitating the unification of Manchester’s creative community, championing the sector on a regional, national and global scale, and providing a powerful, credible and representative voice for the sector.
The role will involve acting as the MPA's ambassador with key organisations in the North West, including North West Vision and Media, the NWDA, Manchester City Council, the IoD and Pro Manchester, as well as key infrastructure projects such as the Sharp Project, Media City and The Hive. The aim of this will be to create partnerships and advocates, and maintain successful, productive relationships with agency and media heads across the region.
The MPA is also looking to recruit an Events Manager. This equally challenging role will involve the delivery of a comprehensive events programme, with up to three events per week on differing scales.
Mike Perls, Chairman of the MPA, said: "We are looking for an extremely dynamic, high caliber individual with the mind of an entrepreneur, the ambassadorial skills of a diplomat and the motivation of an Olympian.
"It is an exciting time to be joining the organisation – there is an opportunity for both candidates to really make their mark on the region's creative sector."
