All The Jobs And Candidates In One Platform

Over the last week, there have been 15 new listings at ArtsAdminJobs.com, which brings the total number submitted for November up to 23. That’s only four behind the total for all of October.

Currently, there are 33 full time positions, six part time positions, and eight internships across every sector and in every department (except music director and conductor openings).

On the other end of the employment coin is the all-time high number of arts administrators in the Candidate Database. The most recent profile was submitted six days ago which brings the total number of profiles to 73. I continue to be impressed by the caliber and depth of candidates; I’d love to say more but access is only available to employers with a valid subscription.

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.
