We are seeking an early career director to join the upcoming R&D of ‘Vagina Cake’ by Laura Harper. Our team is made up of women and therefore we would like to recruit a woman or young woman* for this role.

We would like to stress this is a development opportunity.

We are exclusively seeking applications who are:
- Women
- Experience racism
- Early career
for this position, please only apply if this is how you identify.
