Work with us

Each January Sydney Festival shakes up our city with 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, and we're equally proud to be a great place to work, with many of the seasonal team members returning year after year.

The team, which swells to over 100 during festival season, is tight, and the environment supportive. The harbour views from our office are to die for and our coffee machine best in show.

Sydney Festival is committed to equity and inclusion. We welcome and encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people with disability and people from the LGBTQI+ community. Sydney Festival strives to make reasonable adjustments to provide a supportive and barrier-free workplace. If you require any adjustments before or during the selection process, please mention this with your application.

Join the community choir for Vigil 2026

Register your interest to be part of a joyous singing event for Sydney Festival's annual Vigil tradition, a moment of communal reflection and sharing of First Nations visions for the future.

We’re assembling a choir comprising all cultural backgrounds, all levels of experience and all ages – from primary schoolers to elders. Your voice will join many in the powerful community chorus at the heart of this event.

Yuwaalaraay musician and storyteller Nardi Simpson will guide you in learning the music for a final performance at Vigil on 25 January at Barangaroo Reserve. Each group will lead its own song, with support from other singers and musicians from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

We invite you to discover the songs, raise your voice, and stand with us in this moment of shared music, shared breath and shared hope.
