Brynmawr Blaenau Gwent, United Kingdom Bryn Mawr College Full time €90,000 - €100,000

This posting is for the first position, with the second Co-Executive Director – Operations and Internal Culture to be hired in mid- to late 2024. In partnership with the organization’s staff and board, the inaugural Co-Executive Director will lead a review of the organization’s strategy, implementation of any shifts in approach, and fostering a healthy and supportive internal culture. The Co-Executive Directors will report to the Board and represent the mission and vision of CultureWorks to the community at large, including funders, the government, the corporate sector, the many individuals and organizations that flourish as part of their member community as well as other key community partners. The Co-Executive Directors will work closely with the Board and the senior management team to develop and maintain a high level of quality and strategic vision regarding services, programs, policies and systems for CultureWorks and its sister entity, CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia (“CultureTrust”) (fiscal sponsorship arm) and to continue the organizational change process that is currently underway. CultureWorks was organized in 2010 as a management commons for the arts, heritage, and creative communities — a platform of space, human capital and services to help artists not only survive, but flourish. Between their fiscally sponsored projects and space members, CultureWorks provides equitable access to management resources for both individuals and organizations, the makers and preservers of culture. The commons is inspired by a means of community based economic and social support practiced within a vast variety of cultures, regions and time periods: This initial Co-Executive Director position will hold the strategic, relational and creative responsibilities, as described below. The second Co-Executive Director will have responsibility for the organization’s operational functions and internal culture.
This new, shared leadership structure aligns with the collectivist orientation and community-grounded ethos of CultureWorks. Splitting day-to-day operational responsibilities from strategic responsibilities also will help provide checks and balances internally, increase staff capacity and ensure there is accountability to the very specific needs to be met in this moment of organizational transition.
As an organization dedicated to changing systems, CultureWorks believes it is essential that they recognize the strengths of their staff, providing them with agency over their work, engaging them in decision making, and honoring their role as thought leaders and as holders and co-creators of institutional memory. This will represent a deepening of an existing commitment to nurturing a culture of learning, transparency and respectful exchange of varying viewpoints.
identifying and implementing (in collaboration with the board) paths for strengthening the organization in the areas of Member and Affiliate Services, Revenue, and Leadership and Governance, to include:
identifying diverse, skilled and passionate board candidates as well as advisory board, working groups and other ad hoc groups members as needed.
Developing and implementing a fundraising plan to generate new sources of contributed revenue for CultureWork and member projects.
Collaborating with staff on overall program/service development and delivery to meet organizational standards of transparency, equity, accountability and quality.
Engaging with the program services team to further refine the fiscal sponsorship program and policies, with an ability to report on impact and outcomes.
Leading a strategic visioning process with the Board and staff that builds on CultureWorks’ existing model and strengths but provides opportunity for growth and evolution in services, structure and engagement with the community. Creating a roadmap for realizing the strategic vision and checkpoints for reflection and iteration to allow for adjustments based on learning and changes in the nonprofit, arts and funding environment.
Planning for the hiring of a Co-Executive Director. Partnering with the Board to support the Board’s governance, advocacy, resource development and strategic planning responsibilities.
Co-lead fundraising efforts with the Co-Executive Director – Operations and Internal Culture so that each holds responsibilities for fundraising in their relevant spheres of responsibility.
Developing relationships with and identifying potential opportunities/partnerships for member projects.
Acting as a resource for project directors of fiscally sponsored projects seeking advanced support and guidance.
Staying abreast of trends and emerging practices in art making, cultural practice and management. Assist the community operations team with ongoing regular communications to project directors, etc.
Partner in the planning of organizational events (networking, professional development, etc.).
Engage with the community to stay abreast of needs to inform program planning, membership offerings and organization evolution
In the period until the Co-Executive Director – Operations and Internal Culture is hired, manage operational and staffing functions including:
Partner with Senior Finance Director and Senior Director of Fiscal Sponsorship & Community and provides general leadership for the entire staff (including specialty contractors and consultants)
Support the Senior Finance Director on the audit process.
Manage and approve contracts, payables, and staff PTO, reimbursement and wellbeing allowance requests.

an open minded learner who is informed about, and deeply interested in, art making, cultural practice and management from others across the sector and the ability to see opportunities where others may not.
A networking powerhouse with knowledge of the arts & culture sector, artists, and creatives and/or a related community-based sector in Philadelphia, as well as regional funders and other stakeholders. Has experience working with and helping to further develop a (currently 14 members) board of directors and small (7 person) staff.
a commitment to workplace equity, diversity, inclusion and access, and creating an anti-racist environment.
experience navigating and fostering change, and inspiring a culture of excellence and alignment among the team they lead.
This person will be a leader with experience in the philanthropic, private, public, arts and/or nonprofit sectors. An outstanding track record of development and community relations.
Benefits include healthcare, retirement and paid vacation. While the schedule is flexible, occasional evenings and weekends are required.
