Neworld Theatre is seeking a Managing Producer to oversee Neworld’s operations, financial management and touring activity. S/he will manage and promote our growing repertoire of productions, events and partnerships in a wide range of local, national and international venues and contexts. Neworld’s is currently in a very strong position, both artistically and financially, and we're looking for someone who is excited to step into a leadership role that offers real opportunity for growth, both for the company and the manager/producer we hire.
 
Essential: that the work we make be of interest to you. We develop and produce widely varied styles of live performance. What unites it: every Neworld project must in some way have the courage to grapple with some aspect of morality or ethics. It must be rooted in a presumption that in all of our lives, the choices we all make are meaningful and have real consequences. We also like to make people laugh. 

MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE: 

  • Working with the Artistic Director to raise annual revenues. The Managing Producer should be able to write/prepare the financial, organizational and statistical sections of operating funding applications, as well as touring and market development grants. 
  • Overseeing and preparing Neworld’s annual operating budget, and individual project budgets.
  • Negotiating and preparing presentation agreements and contracts with local, national and international co-producers and presenters, as well as individual artists.
  • Tour development, visioning, networking and travel to promote and extend the life of our touring productions.
  • Partnership-building and development. Neworld has a robust and growing list of partners. Working with the Artistic Director to manage those relationships is key. 
  • Supervision, management and scheduling of two part-time employees: 1) The Resident Producer, an annual position primarily responsible for producing individual projects, and final reports; 2) Operations Coordinator, currently responsible for accounts payable/receivable, office administration and execution of company season marketing, website, and social media; plus additional supervision of key contractors (bookkeeper, interns, publicist, videographer, etc).
  • If it interests them, the candidate will have the opportunity to help lead, with our PL 1422 partners, the purchase and development of a new cultural space in the Mt. Pleasant area. The city of Vancouver has already committed $2.3 million to this initiative, which is tentatively scheduled to open in 2017. 
  • Sitting on the PL 1422 Facility Management Committee, which meets monthly.
  • The position works very closely with Artistic Director Marcus Youssef, and sometimes almost as closely with senior managers of our roommate companies at PL1422 (Boca del Lupo, Electric Company, Rumble Theatre). 
  • We’re also interested in what you might bring to the job. What would you want to do that may not normally be associated with this kind of management position? For example, there could be an opportunity for the right person to participate actively in artistic programming.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE:.

  • Has a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in arts management or administration, including financial management skills, and multi-year operational budgeting. If you know what CADAC is/have experience with it, that’s helpful. 
  • Is entrepreneurial, in the holistic sense: has ideas about how to make new things happen, and is willing to both assess and embrace risk in order to achieve them.
  • Enjoys working with numbers. 
  • Is well-versed in the Canadian theatre scene, or that of another country. Knowledge of international touring is a bonus. 
  • Experience working with Canadian Actors Equity Association and PACT, and either the Independent or Canadian Theatre Agreements, or an equivalent from another jurisdiction.
  • Is energetic, positive, and has a strong sense of humor (appreciating bad jokes is a bonus).
  • Plays well with others – that's one of our mottos, and it's essential. We're looking for someone who likes to collaborate, and to do so in ways that encourages themselves and the people around them to find joy in their work. None of us are paid enough to be unhappy. 
  • Values honesty, transparency, and a work-environment that treats colleagues/employees as whole human beings, not simply workers.
  • Likes responding to opportunities as they occur. While we’re pretty organized, we also practice something we call “responsive programming”, which essentially means our plans can change in response to both opportunities and challenges. 
  • Bonus skills/interests: 1) Liking to write; 2) Interest in marketing strategy; 3) Facility management and development, including capital fundraising.

We don’t expect any single candidate to have all of the above skills/interests. We would like you to let us know which are yours. 
 
DETAILS: 

  • This full-time position begins February 2nd 2015.
  • Salary: $42,000 - $52,000, depending on (and commensurate with) experience, plus an extended health benefits package.
  • 4 weeks paid holiday annually, to be arranged in collaboration with the Artistic Director. Historically, two of those weeks are at Christmas.
  • We aim to interview short-listed candidates in the middle of November. Those who are out of town will be offered a Skype interview.

Local Project Manager, Gatineau / Ottawa

Artscape wishes to hire a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to undertake the local project management of a process to explore the potential arts and cultural partners that might come together in a new facility as part of the re-development of the Domtar Lands in the Chaudière area, one of the largest urban redevelopment opportunities in both Ottawa and Gatineau.  Artscape is working with Windmill Development Group and Dream who have identified the potential of arts and culture to play a leading role in the revitalization of the Domtar Lands. The development partners have asked Artscape to explore the potential range of creative and cultural sector uses that might come together in the first phase of the redevelopment of the site and have allocated a notional 60,000 square feet of adaptive re-use space for this purpose, subject to the outcomes of the initial study.
 
The Project: Overall Scope of Work
We plan a three phased process which is well tried and tested as a tool to advance projects of this sort, and which has been used to advance Artscape’s own projects (i.e. Artscape Wychwood Barns, Daniels Spectrum and Artscape Youngplace in Toronto) and through our work advising communities across Canada.  The project, which will be led by Artscape’s expert team, will seek to establish a strong, shared project vision which is built from the ground up in the local community and which embraces the needs and aspirations of the arts and cultural communities in Gatineau and Ottawa; the specific cultural concerns of First Nations and francophone communities and the Master Concept Plan and development principles established by the development partners in consultation with the community.

Phase 1: Community Context and Engagement (Sept/Oct 2014 – Dec/Jan 2014/5)
A comprehensive understanding of the context, needs and aspirations of the arts and cultural sector in Gatineau and Ottawa will form the foundation for our work, will be essential in building relationships of trust between the development team and the arts and cultural sector in the region and of course enrich our understanding of the arts and cultural context, issues, challenges and opportunities. 
 
Phase 2: Request for Expressions of Interest (Jan – April 2015)
Artscape has successfully used an REOI process in the early phases of project development to test and refine the vision, mission and mandate of a project and to gain an understanding of the spatial and technical requirements for the project.  The process is used as a tool to stimulate and 
 
Phase 3: Analysis (April – May 2015)
In the final phase Artscape will review the outcomes of the REOI in the context of our wider environmental, cultural policy and legislative scan, to clarify a project vision, mission and mandate. Market response, the ranges of uses envisaged and an outline building program along with budget analysis will be prepared.  Working with the client a critical path and next steps will be agreed.

Les partenaires Windmill et Dream se fient sur Artscape pour explorer les possibilités des secteurs créatif et culturel qui pourraient se réunir dans le cadre de la première phase du redéveloppement et ont alloué approximativement 60 000 pieds carrés d’espace en ce sens, sous réserves des résultats de l’étude initiale de la première phase du projet. 
 
Le projet : Description de l’étendue du mandat
 
Nous allons procéder en 3 étapes. La méthode utilisée représente un outil de travail testé dans le cadre de plusieurs projets similaires d’Artscape visant à conseiller différentes communautés canadiennes. (par ex. Artscape Wychwood Barns, Daniels Spectrum et Artscape Youngplace à Toronto). Le projet, qui sera géré par une équipe d’experts d’Artscape, visera à établir une vision imposante et partagée, construite à la base en collaboration avec les communautés locales, qui englobe les besoins et aspirations des arts et de la culture à Gatineau et à Ottawa; dont les aspects culturels uniques des Premières nations et de la communauté francophone, du Plan maitre de développement en plus des principes de développement. Le projet comporte donc 3 phases différentes, comme suit:

Phase 1 : Contexte et engagement communautaire (sept / oct 2014 – déc / jan 2014 / 15)
Une compréhension globale du contexte, des besoins et des aspirations du secteur de Gatineau et d’Ottawa formera la base de notre travail et sera essentielle au développement des relations de confiance entre les partenaires du développement immobilier et les acteurs du secteur des arts et de la culture de la région, et nous permettra bien entendu de mieux comprendre le contexte local des arts et de la culture, ses défis, problématiques et opportunités.

Phase 2 : Demande d’expressions d’intérêt (jan – avril 2015)
Artscape a utilisé avec succès le processus de demande d’expression d’intérêt lors des premières phases de développement afin de tester et raffiner la vision, mission et le mandat du projet et afin de mieux comprendre les requis techniques et spatiaux du projet. Le processus est utilisé comme un outil pour stimuler et évaluer les intérêts dès le départ et obtenir des renseignements utiles provenant des parties impliquées.

Phase 3 : Analyse (avril - mai 2015)
Dans la phase finale, Artscape examinera les résultats de la Demande d’expressions d’intérêt prenant en considération le cadre général de notre politique environnementale et culturelle et du survol de la législation de manière à définir la vision du projet, son mandat et sa mission. Une analyse budgétaire jumelée à une revue du marché, à l’éventail des initiatives envisagées et au programme de construction préliminaire sera ensuite préparée. Avec la collaboration du client, la description du projet et ses prochaines étapes seront déterminés.
