The Grand Theatre - Executive Director

ABOUT THE GRAND THEATRE
The Grand Theatre is known for world-class theatre created and built in London, Ontario.
As southwest Ontario’s premiere producing theatre and one of the most beautiful theatre spaces in Canada, the company has deep ties to the community and its artists, artisans, and technicians.

As a vibrant cultural hub and not-for-profit regional theatre, the Grand serves to gather, inspire and entertain audiences with performance in London and beyond.  At our home in downtown London, we create productions on two stages: the Spriet Stage (839 seats) and the Auburn Stage (144 seats). The Grand season of theatrical offerings runs from September to May, and we collaborate with companies and artists across the country through our co-productions, taking the work we make here in London out to the nation.  Our company is home for new play development through our successful Compass program, and our recently renovated venue boasts several successful music series, rentals to the community and a wide variety of special events.

A cornerstone of the organization is our place as a teaching theatre, exemplified in our many mentorships programs and highlighted in our annual High School Project. The only program of its kind in the country and currently in its twenty-sixth year, the High School Project involves almost a hundred high school participants annually from schools across the city.  These students participate at no cost and take on roles both onstage and off in a fully realized mainstage production under the direction of a professional creative team.

COMMITMENT TO EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & RECONCILIATION
The Grand Theatre is committed to creating and practicing a company culture that ensures an accessible, equitable, inclusive, and welcoming space for all. We encourage applicants to review the Grand’s commitments to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Reconciliation on our website to confirm that your personal and professional values are alighted with this vision, and we invite you to reflect on these commitments in your submission.

THE POSITION
The Executive Director (ED) role presents an opportunity to continue the impact of this major regional theatre in its community and beyond. The Grand seeks an inspiring leader with exceptional operational experience, financial acumen, fundraising ability and people skills to partner alongside Rachel Peake, the Grand Theatre’s Artistic Director (AD).

The Grand Theatre is in a strong position as London’s ambitious regional theatre. The ED will be a key collaborator with the Board and Artistic Director in leading the organization’s long-term strategic vision, emerging from the company’s  new 2024-2028 strategic plan. There will be a particular focus on building audiences and creating long-term revenue while ensuring the Grand upholds its key values: passion, rigor, innovation, inclusivity, respect, and care.  Working in conjunction with the AD, the Board and other stakeholders, the ED will implement the Grand’s new strategic plan to guide the company forward.

Providing strategic vision and financial oversight, the ED will be responsible for the organization’s operations, including administration, audience engagement, strategic business planning, and fundraising. The ED shares with the AD responsibility for bringing productions to the stage and to audiences in a way that enables and challenges staff and creative teams to do their best work. A major component of the role is the support and development of a talented senior team, working closely with them to create an open and welcoming culture which reaches everyone engaging with the Grand Theatre. The ED reports directly to the Board of Directors of the Grand Theatre and supports the work of all board committees (Finance & Governance, Fund Development and Executive) as well as the Grand Theatre Foundation and the Friends of the Grand (a US 501c (3) charity).

A dynamic and collaborative inspirational leader, the ED is a champion of equity, diversity and inclusion. The ED thrives in building positive and authentic relationships with staff, artists, Board members, audiences, donors and community members to support The Grand’s strategic and operational goals.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity for an experienced organizational leader who can bring together their vision, experience, and passion for theatre, who believes they can take the Grand Theatre to the next level. The Executive Director must have a keen sense of what makes an organization strong and vital within the arts community and an ability to engage stakeholders in the exciting work of the company.  They will want to invest themselves in the success and growth of the Grand Theatre and will find personal fulfillment in being part of the community and the future.

Director, Cultural Leadership

Director, Cultural Leadership

Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity aims to inspire everyone who attends our campus – artists, leaders, and thinkers – to unleash their creative potential.

We acknowledge, with deep respect and gratitude, our home on the side of Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain. In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minhrpa” (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, Rockyview District 4. We acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place.

The Opportunity
Cultural Leadership is one of two core leadership programming areas: Indigenous Leadership and Cultural Leadership. The incumbent will work closely with the Director of Indigenous Leadership, with the other Arts disciplines at the Centre, and with the Executive Director, Leadership, to plan and design specific portfolio programs, but also cross-disciplinary programs where appropriate.

The incumbent will work closely with the Banff Centre operations and administrative teams to ensure that the innovative cultural leadership programs for mid-career and established leaders are delivered at the highest possible level. Banff Centre leadership programs seek to create an environment within which leaders can explore and push leadership and innovative boundaries, develop new organizational skills and competencies, and develop both personally and professionally.

The programs need to find a balance between personal growth and development of the leader (values led leadership, cultural exchange and diplomacy, diversity, equity, empathy and collaboration), and organizational development and design thinking (strategic planning, change management, government relations, marketing and audience development, digital transformation in culture) in order to ensure that the modules directly translate to actionable behaviors once program participants return to their regular roles in organizations or communities.

Excellent knowledge of arts and cultural leadership practice and education is essential. A professional network of contacts within arts and culture communities in Canada and internationally is also essential, along with a deep understanding of professional development at the post-secondary level and beyond.  The success of the programs rests on the ability of the incumbent to attract a roster of exceptional, sessional leadership faculty and to attract high-quality applicants to the programs.

Roles and Responsibilities

Reporting to the Executive Director, Leadership below are some key accountabilities:

Strategic Planning

Works with the Executive Director, Leadership to understand and implement the strategic goals and business objectives of Banff Centre as they relate to cultural leadership programming overall.

• Works with the Director of Indigenous leadership and Executive Director, Leadership, in developing an innovative and comprehensive cultural leadership program plan, annually and over a 3-year planning horizon, which includes program evaluation metrics.

Programming

• Creates an annual comprehensive and integrated program plan for the department area, working with program managers and other subject experts. This includes designing residency programs and planning for their implementation and evaluation.
• Designs programs that are in alignment with our Strategic Plan (Creative Pathways, released 2021); the provincial government’s Alberta 2030 post-secondary strategy, which focuses on training for jobs and work-based learning; and Canadian Heritage’s arts training objectives.
