We are looking for someone to own production and financial practicalities in partnership with artistic goals.
Many Hats Collaboration currently produces one multi-project festival each August, and 1-3 workshops throughout the year. Candidate would shepherd these production processes throughout the calendar year and support the Artistic Director’s emerging new works projects as they arise.
A qualified candidate will be proficient with Quickbooks and Google Sheets. Familiarity with Asana or other project management software is a plus. We are also looking for someone who is detail oriented with the flexibility to allow for emergence. The Company Production Manager values planning, thoroughness, and consistency. We are also looking for a great communicator who is aware of and accountable to work within agreed upon timelines. Experience with theater budgeting is a plus, but not required. Reports to Artistic Director and Board Treasurer.
Busy times of year include Aug-Sept, when annual budgeting for board approval in September may overlap with production; Dec-January, when donation acknowledgements, budget to actuals, and 1099s are due. Finally, whenever a production is mounted is also a busy time.
We are hoping to find a person who would like to make a 1 year commitment with a performance check in at the end of this calendar year. This is a capacity building role and we envision this job with room to grow into a .5 FTE Executive Director.
