Forward Thinking Arts And Culture Organizations Are Only As Good As Their People

I’m very pleased to say Arts Admin Jobs’ Candidate Database is officially open for business! To help celebrate, I’m running a 25% off launch special, which brings the monthly cost down to only $15/mo. Act fast, it’s only good through May 31, 2021.

Finding qualified admin talent for the arts and culture sector has never been easier.
  • Get instant access to the only dedicated database of top arts admin talent.
  • One affordable annual fee provides access to the entire database, including candidate resumes and contact information.
  • Search through a pool of highly qualified candidates, filter by experience, skills, and salary requirement, willingness to relocate or work remote, languages spoken, and more.
  • Get a clear understanding of what candidates are looking for in their next position.

But wait, there’s more…

I have something special for job seekers as well: a new job filter to show openings looking for remote, hybrid, or in-office work locations.

About Drew McManus

"I hear that every time you show up to work with an orchestra, people get fired." Those were the first words out of an executive's mouth after her board chair introduced us. That executive is now a dear colleague and friend but the day that consulting contract began with her orchestra, she was convinced I was a hatchet-man brought in by the board to clean house.

I understand where the trepidation comes from as a great deal of my consulting and technology provider work for arts organizations involves due diligence, separating fact from fiction, interpreting spin, as well as performance review and oversight. So yes, sometimes that work results in one or two individuals "aggressively embracing career change" but far more often than not, it reinforces and clarifies exactly what works and why.

In short, it doesn't matter if you know where all the bodies are buried if you can't keep your own clients out of the ground, and I'm fortunate enough to say that for more than 15 years, I've done exactly that for groups of all budget size from Qatar to Kathmandu.

For fun, I write a daily blog about the orchestra business, provide a platform for arts insiders to speak their mind, keep track of what people in this business get paid, help write a satirical cartoon about orchestra life, hack the arts, and love a good coffee drink.
