Duties and Responsibilities

1. Finance and Budgeting

The Managing Director creates and reviews the monthly, quarterly, and annual ArtYard financial reporting materials and metrics for the Executive Director on a monthly basis and for the Board of Directors twice a year, or more often, as needed. The Managing Director works closely with the leaders of all departments to develop and monitor budgets. The Managing Director oversees all accounting functions and manages day-to-day oversight of banking and investment accounts, liaising with ArtYard’s investment firm, and providing data for quarterly investment reports as well as attending quarterly investment meetings.

The Managing Director is responsible for developing the financial report for the bi-annual Board of Directors agenda and data package. The Managing Director also makes relevant presentations at the meeting.

The ideal candidate will not only be able to reconcile financial activities but should also be skilled at capturing key data and processes in order to demonstrate the relationship between ArtYard’s goals and resulting financial needs. In addition, the Managing Director oversees insurance, development activities (e.g., fundraising and grant applications), membership programs and execution of contracts.

2. Administration/Operations

The Managing Director supervises one staff member in the accounting department, one part-time controller, one part-time groundskeeper and one full-time manager of facilities. The Managing Director liaises with lawyers, architects, rental tenants and vendors, while making sure the construction company responsible for the new building honors all warrantees and addresses any outstanding issues.

Competitive candidates must be willing to pitch in at irregular hours for festivals and special events. The Managing Director is invited to attend performances, educational programs, and art openings, and partake in many opportunities for communal connection.
