  • Organizational and Project Management Skills : Exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to track and manage complex logistics, schedules, and documentation; the ability to keep projects moving forward by tracking different workflows and deadlines, identifying necessary action steps, and manage collaborations between team members.
  • Initiative and Problem-Solving Skills : The ability to notice and flag issues or complications as they arise, and help brainstorm ways to address those issues; an ability to prioritize independently and collaboratively to address immediate, medium-term, and long-term needs.
  • Communication Skills : The ability to convey information clearly, professionally, and transparently, both verbally and in writing, with a variety of stakeholders; the ability to successfully adapt communications to various personalities, styles, and preferences.
  • While not required or expected, the following skills would be an asset for the AP :

  • 1-3 years of professional experience in artistic producing, arts administration, production, tour management, or stage management; experience working directly with professional artists a plus.
  • Specific interest or experience in contemporary opera, new music, or other experimental / avant-garde theater / performance.
