The Staten Island Arts Board of Directors seeks a dynamic, strategic, and engaging leader to take this strong cultural arts council to its next level as a thought leader, grant maker, and presenter on Staten Island. Working closely with a committed Board of Directors and a small but dedicated staff, the ED will provide the vision, inspiration, and oversight to create and implement Staten Island Arts’ future direction while overseeing a $1.2M annual operating budget (approximately 100% raised). Specific goals include:

• Enhancing and evolving existing programs to ensure Staten Island Arts’ programmatic offerings remain vibrant and attract new audiences
• Managing the staff to promote the effective execution of the vision and promote collaboration across departments
• Building relationships with internal and external stakeholders and being a visible and sought after presence in the community
• Providing leadership for Staten Island Arts’ ongoing internal and external anti-racism/anti-oppression initiatives
• Increasing revenue from philanthropic sources to ensure that Staten Island Arts can continue to grow and thrive
• Continuing and completing the Strategic Planning process that began in 2020 Q3, working with a consultant, Board, and staff
