Business Manager - ArtsWest
ABOUT ARTSWEST
ArtsWest’s mission is to produce artistic events that provoke conversation, incite the
imagination, and use live theater as a powerful agent of change. ArtsWest values all employees not just for their staff roles, but for all that makes them who they are. We recognize that identity contains multitudes and is fluid, intersectional, and of vital importance. Whether an employee fulfills an administrative, creative, or public-facing role, we consider our entire team to be artists in their own right. We are a small but nimble team that allows for collaboration and much self-directed work. As an organization we hold dear our people and conduct ourselves, accordingly, centering relational work over transactional processes.
ABOUT THE POSITION
The Business Manager oversees the core business and administrative functions that keep ArtsWest running smoothly and serves as a key operational thought partner to the Producing Artistic Director. The role brings together financial oversight, human resources and benefits administration, compliance, organizational systems, and other ongoing business needs. This position is responsible for making sure important organizational processes are clear, current, and moving forward - from budgets and cash flow to benefits, contracts, renewals, records, and recurring institutional deadlines. Routine administrative and operational tasks are supported by an Administrative & Project Coordinator.
The Business Manager works closely with the Producing Artistic Director, ArtsWest’s
accountant, department heads, and the Administrative & Project Coordinator.

Our policies regarding hiring and employment at ArtsWest are designed to make it clear on all levels of the organization that we honor and value lived experience and the truths of human beings and the energies and talents they bring to their work. A broad range of lived experience is welcomed. We invite those whose goal is to create an environment of abundant and creative space, especially for those whose intersecting identities and voices have been historically excluded, marginalized, or erased.
