Location Namur

Since 2011, KIKK has been exploring what happens when art meets science and technology. What started as a festival in Namur has become a non-profit of about twenty people running four projects:

KIKK Festival: every autumn, four days of installations, talks and professional meetings, tens of thousands of visitors and guests from all over the world. kikkfestival.be

Le Pavillon: an art, science and technology exhibition venue open all year round at the top of the Citadel of Namur, with a strong focus on young audiences and schools. le-pavillon.be

TRAKK: Namur's creative hub, with its fabrication workshops, Medialab and support programmes. trakk.be

WAKE: the reference-actor mission for the digital cultural and creative industries in Wallonia, entrusted by the Region for 2026-2030. wake-collective.be

The role. The founding director is stepping down as managing director and becomes Chair of the Board. We are looking for the person who will lead the organisation: the team, the projects, the budgets, public and private partners. You will work with an artistic director and experienced coordinators. And you will take on the challenge of the years ahead: securing the funding of our projects by balancing public funds and private resources.

The profile. You have led a cultural, creative or similar organisation. You can read accounts, grow a team and raise funds. You are genuinely curious about digital cultures and where art meets science. Fluent French, professional English; Dutch is a plus.

What we offer. A permanent full-time contract. Compensation based on experience, using pay scales inspired by Belgian joint committee 329.02; the range is shared before the first interview. An office at Le Pavillon, overlooking the Meuse valley. And a project that hasn't finished surprising people.

Timeline. Applications until Monday 15 November 2026. Interviews in November, decision by mid-December, start ideally early 2027.
