Job Summary
The Assistant Manager for Operations and Events within the School of Performing Arts at RIT provides leadership for and oversight of day-to-day operational aspects of the rapidly growing performing arts ecosystem at RIT. The Performing Arts Scholarship Program (PASP) at RIT, now in its fourth year of existence has welcomed upwards of 1,400 students. We anticipate there will be 2,000 PASP students by the fall of 2023. The PASP demands professional executives with strong and varied expertise, extensive business acumen, and performing arts backgrounds to ensure continued success with this strategic initiative of the Institute. The position requires an individual with deep knowledge and experience in facility and resource planning and oversight, contract negotiations, budgetary planning and analysis, marketing and communication plan development, and event scheduling expertise for both large- and small-scale performing arts engagements. The position authors policies and procedures surrounding much of the above for both the School of Performing Arts and the Performing Arts Scholarship Program at RIT.
The Assistant Manager for Operations and Events oversees and has broad latitude to make independent decisions surrounding operational aspects, including the newly launched student leader program within the Performing Arts Scholarship Program and the development and strengthening of campus and community partnerships. The former entails interviewing, hiring, training, evaluating and supervising a team of between six to eight student employees during the semester. Given the complex and challenging environment of higher education performing arts, the position responsibilities demand an individual capable of integrative thinking, zooming in and out at a moments notice, and the ability to weigh often competing/conflicting demands to devise creative solutions. The Assistant Manager for Operations and Events reports to the Operations Director of Performing Arts at RIT.
