2025 will mark a significant milestone for Poetry Ireland with the opening of Poetry Ireland House at No. 11 Parnell Square East, Dublin, in partnership with the Irish Heritage Trust. This conservation-led project signifies a new chapter for the iconic Georgian building and Poetry Ireland as we create an inclusive cultural centre dedicated to celebrating and sharing Irish poetry, heritage, and culture with the public. Key elements of this project include the establishment of the Seamus Heaney Poetry Library, a dedicated performance and event space, and a community engagement/workshop space. The Seamus Heaney library, donated by the Heaney family, contains Seamus Heaney's remarkable personal library. Our library will also house the Austin Clarke Library, an American contemporary library, and an Irish contemporary collection.
We are looking for a dynamic Communications and Marketing Manager to join our team at this exciting time for Poetry Ireland. The successful candidate will be an articulate, organised, and creative individual with a minimum of 2 to 3 years of experience to help us promote, project, and develop Poetry Ireland to our members and stakeholders while also creatively engaging and developing new audiences for our work. The Communications and Marketing Manager will design and deliver campaigns to successfully communicate all our programmes and events, as well as being part of launching our new hub for Poetry at 11 Parnell Square - Poetry Ireland House. Reporting to the Operations Manager, the Communications and Marketing Manager will work closely with the management, publications, and education team, as well as several other national and international partners.
