Happy new year! Here are the most interesting of the opportunities we spotted coming back from winter break—a cultural sector special bonanza:
Some great cultural organizations are looking for technology help right now. Postmedia is hiring a
tablet producer to work on titles across the company; they need someone with a particular aptitude for editorial design. And Jane's Walk, the organization that runs hundreds of public walking tours in cities across the globe, needs a
PHP web developer to administer their site, refine their designs, and handle analytics.
More in the culture sector! Manifesto—organizer of the annual Manifesto Festival, and creator of youth-focused arts programming throughout the year—is seeking a new
managing director. Responsibilities include overseeing all day-to-day operations, including both finance and programming. Artscape, which revitalizes historic buildings and transforms them into new community-oriented spaces, is looking to fill the newly created position of
capital project manager. Reporting to the executive vice president, this role is for someone to handle initial project negotiations, manage ongoing design, and tackle project-specific stakeholder relations.
Local governments are also looking for help in this area. The City of Mississauga is hiring a
supervisor of events services for Celebration Square, a post for someone with three to five years of experience. And the City of Toronto needs a new
director of arts and culture services—a key senior management role.
Finally, two local public relations companies that focus on the arts scene have openings right now. Flip Publicity is hiring a
publicist and publicity coordinator; they need someone with at least three to six years of experience specifically in the arts and entertainment industry. Knot PR, meanwhile, whose clients include Luminato and the Canadian Opera Company, is looking for an
account coordinator with some publicity experience. And for those with an interest in storytelling, the Centre for Social Innovation is hiring a
part time "reporter," to profile its member organizations.
