Job Summary

A.R.T./New York seeks experienced candidates to fill the role of Co-Director on a new Executive Leadership Team. Aligned with our values, the two-director team will jointly oversee an annual budget of approximately $7,000,000, a full-time staff of 19 and a part-time staff of 31 delivering a growing slate of services to New York’s nonprofit theatre sector. Specific responsibilities and areas of focus will vary based on the skills and interests of each director, as discussed with board and staff during the interview process and finalized in collaboration between Co-Directors upon hiring. We are not looking for a unicorn who can be everything at once. We are looking for a leader excited to collaboratively originate a shared leadership model in which two partners’ complementary skills and passions contribute to achieving shared goals.



Why a shared leadership model? When leadership is shared, each stakeholder invests not in any one individual but in the organization and its mission, and therefore in the future of the organization. This shift in investment began to emerge organically at A.R.T./New York in the past year and a half, as staff engaged more deeply in decision-making and envisioned collaborative frameworks. In the model, the staff and board now propose, two directors have equal standing within the organization; are recognized as equals externally; have autonomy over the process of determining what responsibilities they share, and make major decisions together.
