They will leverage their proven skills in planning and orchestrating top-tier live productions, while exercising the ability to let go and listen to what the moment is calling for.
The purpose of the role is to deliver the artistic goals and financial aims developed by the Artistic Director and Executive Director in such a way that integrates, meets, and often exceeds the needs of the artists, budget, schedule.

They must possess negotiation and contractual experience and skills, and an excellent understanding of how to facilitate, collaborate, outsource, and delegate as required.
During development, work will be roughly 50% remote and 50% onsite. Future performances will require on-location and site-specific travel engagements.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Work closely with the Artistic Director and Executive Director to create and deliver The Cortège live event series, serving as a trusted advisor and strategic partner.
- Hold oversight of the production for current and future event schedules, for all planning and delivery purposes.

- Work with the executive team to ensure all aspects of production are delivered in line with contractual obligations.
- Attend internal and external meetings as required and contribute to all aspects of the operation and development of The Cortège.
- Develop contacts nationally and internationally to achieve increased awareness and to maximize artistic and business growth.
- Confidently express POV to propel the business forward.
- Develop talent by providing challenging assignments, training, and ongoing constructive feedback.
- Continually look for innovative solutions and production methods.
Skills and Experience:

- Experience in managing partnerships and building relationships.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong financial management skills.
- Excellent IT skills.
- A commitment to championing the creative case for diversity at every level of the organization and the proven ability to work with people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
- Presence, inspiring others, and managing upwards.
