Storycatchers Theatre

Executive Director

KEES has been exclusively retained by Storycatchers Theatre in its search for an Executive Director. Executive Director

Storycatchers Theatre seeks an Executive Director responsible for strategic planning, organizational development, financial sustainability, key partnerships, and stability of the organization (day-to-day and long-term). The ED reports to SCT’s Board and directly supervises four positions: Director of Arts Education Programs, Director of Development, Director of HR and Operations, and the Changing Voices Case Manager.

In addition to the leadership and managerial duties, the next ED should be prepared to show up filled with energy, empathy, and compassion. This means showing up when there is joy and when there is sorrow — to program performances, graduations, organizational benefits, networking events, and personal life events of SCT youth. SCT program staff meet youth impacted by the carceral state wherever they are in the system, and the team needs — and deserves — a leader who will show up and support them so that they can show up, support, and empower the SCT young people. The ED must advocate for the humane treatment of youth in the criminal justice system.

Some specific requirements include:

· Proven ability to build strong external relationships with public leadership, partner organizations, youth, their families, and other stakeholders.

· Track record in financial management, stewardship, and strategies to successfully increase revenue (multiple types).

· Non-profit management experience desired, with preferred work experience in youth development, youth empowerment, theatre, and/or arts education.

· Career track record that shows stability with an organization and capacity to develop and nurture relationships culminating in overall success.

· A minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in leadership and management, with the documented ability and at least 3 years of managing staff and leading teams.
