The City of London is looking for a “Night Czar” to help shape and grow the city as a 24-hour destination. Here’s a snippet from the job posting:

> _“The Night Czar will champion the value of London’s night time culture whilst developing and diversifying London’s night time economy._
> 
> _Working with the Mayor, the Night Time Commission, local authorities, businesses, the Metropolitan Police Service, Transport For London and other agencies, the Night Czar will create a vision for London as 24-hour city and a roadmap showing how the vision will be realised. The Night Czar will have proven leadership ability, public profile and convening power, plus a thorough understanding of the night time economy and the ability to work in a political environment.”_

I think 2016 will turn out to be the year of the “[night mayor](http://brandondonnelly.com/post/141726604813/why-toronto-needs-a-night-mayor).” This trend is really picking up momentum in Europe, as more and more cities look to capitalize on their night time economies.

The job will pay £35,000 per year for 2.5 days of work per week. The closing date for the application is Monday, September 12, 2016. If you’d like to apply, you can [do that here](https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/jobs-and-working-city-hall/current-vacancies/czar001-night-czar).

I’ve been [writing about this trend all year](http://brandondonnelly.com/post/141726604813/why-toronto-needs-a-night-mayor). Hopefully a decision maker in Toronto is reading this.
