Founded in 1972, A.R.T./New York assists over 400
member theatres in managing their theatre companies effectively so
they may realize their rich artistic visions and serve their
diverse audiences well. Over nearly five decades, A.R.T./New York
has earned a reputation as a leader in providing progressive
services to our members—from shared office and rehearsal spaces to
technical assistance programs for emerging theatres—which have made
the organization an expert in the needs of the New York City
nonprofit theatre community. A.R.T./New York’s 400 member companies
are the heart of what we do, and we provide them with four core
areas of support, funding, training, space and connections.
A.R.T./New York seeks experienced candidates to fill
the role of Co-Director on a new Executive Leadership Team. Aligned
with our values, the two-director team will jointly oversee an
annual budget of approximately $7,000,000, a full-time staff of 19
and a part-time staff of 31 delivering a growing slate of services
to New York’s nonprofit theatre sector. Specific responsibilities
and areas of focus will vary based on the skills and interests of
each director, as discussed with board and staff during the
interview process and finalized in collaboration between
Co-Directors upon hiring. We are not looking for a unicorn
who can be everything at once. We are looking for a leader excited
to collaboratively originate a
shared leadership model in which two partners’ complementary
skills and passions contribute to achieving shared goals.
In our shared leadership model, two Co-Directors will
partner in the responsibility of leading ART/New York. We
expect the Co-Directors to take the first year of their
collaboration to determine the distribution of responsibilities and
find an appropriate balance between supporting one another and
leading together and independently.
These responsibilities include:
Lead the charge in championing nonprofit theater in
New York City and throughout New York State
Articulate and communicate the vision and strategic
plan of the organization with input from members, staff, and
board
Ensure that values align across stakeholders
Champion
diversity, accessibility, and inclusion across the
organization
Advocate for our sector with elected and appointed
government officials and through working with our
lobbyist
Set annual advocacy and departmental priorities in
collaboration with members, staff, and board
Foster collaboration between departments and manage
teams
Guide the development and review of communication
strategies
Maintain and manage the organization’s budget;
develop and review fiscal management policies; set revenue
goals
Set grantmaking priorities and policies with Grants
staff
Participate in governance, oversight, and
compliance with the board
Establish
accountability benchmarks and auditing policies
Attend
Ethics and Accountability Committee meetings, staff work
sessions and trainings, and occasional programmatic or grantmaking
panel sessions
Develop policies that create a safe, productive,
welcoming experience in our spaces for staff, renters, and visitors
and sustain reliable growth of rental revenue
Negotiate major vendor contracts and leases
effectively and efficiently, with input from staff and board
Oversee the management of existing infrastructure
and lead staff in the development of new systems
Cultivate new individual and institutional donors
and strategically manage existing donor relationships
Review and revise external communications,
marketing, and branding as needed
