The Arts Education Administrator is a growth opportunity for an early career arts administrator with a passion and drive to bring arts education experiences to young people. The Arts Education Administrator is a vital part of the small but mighty education department, largely under the supervision of the Education Operations Director. They provide “backstage” administrative support to directors in the education department, ensuring that all necessary systems and processes are in place. While not a glamorous role, job satisfaction will come from being a valued team member who through their efforts, ensures that children experience exceptional arts education.
Mentorship in arts administration is built into this role. The administrator will be involved in the planning and coordination of professional learning sessions for teaching artists and teachers, convenings and planning meetings with school partners, and will therefore have firsthand purview of program management and collaboration. The administrator will also have an opportunity to learn project management, by having a small project management workload in the first year on the job. Growth in project management load will be determined by departmental needs, funding levels and administrators’ growth in this area.
