Program Manager
Be part of a small team at this dynamic arts organization, dedicated to furthering the art of ensemble singing and working with a highly respected vocal ensemble that has moved and delighted Chicago audiences for thirty years.
In this multi-faceted role, you will spearhead education and community engagement programs, as well as carry out all production and artistic administrative duties for concerts and events. The position includes concert production, stage management, music library, and program evaluation. Some specific responsibilities include scheduling rehearsals and auditions; contracting singers and other artists; transporting materials and equipment to all events; interfacing with production vendors; ordering, distributing and filing musical scores; and handling licensing, logistics, and travel arrangements for concerts and events.
The position is currently structured as 30 office hours per week during regular business hours, plus evening/weekend hours for concerts and events (roughly 80-90 hours/year). Remote office hours work is possible, but at least 2 days per week in the office are required. The salary range is currently $40,000-$45,000/year, plus reimbursement for travel costs.
To be successful, you will need:
- Strong organizational and administrative skills to proactively problem-solve for complex scheduling and other multifaceted projects with multiple stakeholders
- Passion for music, music education, and the arts, with a self-motivated approach to learning and improving upon programs and operations
- Strong interpersonal skills, forging positive, collegial and effective relationships with people in a wide variety of roles
- Strong written and oral communications skills, with solid attention to detail
- A highly flexible and team-oriented approach, with a patient and good-humored outlook
Additional experiences that would add value, but are not required:
- Knowledge of music, particularly choral music
- Experience with community engagement, music education, or other nonprofit outreach programs, particularly experience working with teachers
- Experience with event management or stage/concert production
