General Manager

The ideal candidate

We are looking for a vibrant, enthusiastic, visionary individual to take House of PainT to the next level. We want someone who is passionate about the hip hop community in Ottawa, is prepared to step out as the face of the organization, and someone who will market, promote, grow, and develop the Festival and other HoP programming. Our next General Manager will engage with the HoP community, with program partners, artists of all kinds and the general public. The ideal candidate will have experienced what it’s like to manage events and large projects on time and on a tight budget, and who can stay cool under pressure. They will be able to plan well, manage a range of paid and unpaid staff and do it all with financial foresight by creating and administering strict budgets and undertaking financial planning. But above all we are looking for a General Manager who has big ideas for the role and can demonstrate the right skills to deliver on the organization’s vision.

About the position

The General Manager is key to the organization’s success.

Do you thrive on cultivating relationships by discovering common ground?

Does being part of an active culture scene energize and inspire you?

Would you like to work with a cornerstone arts organization in the heart of Edmonton?

 

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music is recognized as one of North America’s finest acoustic concert facilities. It is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble with adventurous programming that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves. The ESO and the Winspear Centre are two distinct arts organizations with a shared Board of Directors and administration. Their vision is to make music central to tourism, business, and cultural development initiatives in the city by building partnerships with community organizations to maximize the use of the venue as a community resource and minimize barriers for people to access musical arts experiences.

 

The Community Relations Manager cultivates and nurtures relationships with our partners in industry, the arts, and the social sectors. This self-directed position involves stewarding existing partnerships, identifying strategic opportunities, preparing partnership proposals, and supporting the department in meeting budget targets.

You are a strong communicator, in person and in writing, who is conscientious, organized, and diligent with details. Understanding of events coordination and social sector not-for-profits is beneficial.

 

You will thrive in this role if you love meeting new people and attending events and you are passionate about the value arts bring to the community as a whole. You are energized by being at events greeting sponsors, community partners, artists and media contacts. Through your professional and personal inclinations, you reveal your connectedness to the community. A love of music and your appreciation of the value arts and culture bring to the community as a whole are essential to success in this role. As an ambassador for the arts in Edmonton, you possess the ability to nurture positive relationships with all organizational stakeholders including guests, patrons, donors, community groups, media, volunteers, and internally with all levels of personnel in the organization.

 

If you enjoy the challenge of surpassing your own targets and building mutually beneficial relationships that contribute to a better community for everyone, submit your application to begin your career with one of Edmonton’s finest arts organizations. What you get is a full-time position with the Francis Winspear Centre for Music & Edmonton Symphony Orchestra with opportunities to flex your creativity and develop professionally. Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. This is a flexible working environment and evening and weekend work is required.
