The Stadsschouwburg and the PHIL are Haarlem’s two largest venues. From hip-hop shows to cabaret, from pop and classical concerts to soul performances—not to mention all the corporate events and conferences. Our programming covers it all. Due to a maternity leave, we are looking for an energetic, creative Graphic Designer who enjoys working on a variety of projects, can handle deadlines well, and can maintain a clear overview.

To cover a maternity leave, we are looking for a Graphic Designer to work 32 hours per week from October 2024 through March 2025.

Organization & Department

The Stadsschouwburg and the PHIL are the two largest venues in the city of Haarlem. The organization consists of 55 full-time staff members, 50 catering staff, and a team of volunteers, who work together to ensure that all performances and events at both venues run smoothly. The Marketing & Sales department has 14 employees.

What will you be doing?

As a Graphic Designer, you will be responsible for all design work, working with two different corporate identities. During your time with us, ticket sales for the PHIL’s new season will begin. In terms of design, this is always a hectic and highly dynamic period: from a season brochure to selecting the key image for the new season, you will coordinate and produce all communications and advertisements for this project.

In addition to this project, here is a selection of your regular work:

You will be responsible for developing and implementing all communication materials and campaigns for both offline and online channels for the marketing, fundraising, and sales departments;
You will oversee both corporate identities and manage the corporate identity materials;
You will manage external vendors (printing companies, design agencies, DTP specialists).

You're good at keeping track of things, working with deadlines, and setting priorities;
You think on your feet and can juggle multiple tasks at once;
You have strong communication skills and know how to ask the right questions of your colleagues to ensure the best possible end result.

What do we offer?

Varied work at two prime locations in Haarlem;
A role that offers responsibility and room for creativity;
An enthusiastic team of welcoming and passionate colleagues;
A temporary position for the period from October 2024 through March 2025; a contract for independent contractors is also an option;
