  • Assist with onboarding, payroll, personnel records, and other administrative processes that support orchestra operations.
  • Travel with the orchestra as assigned and provide departmental leadership support in the absence of the Orchestra Personnel Manager.

  • Knowledge of orchestral repertoire, instrumentation, and the ability to read music is preferred.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and professionalism.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with orchestra personnel software is a plus.
  • Ability to work evenings, weekends, and travel as needed.

 

Who You Are

  • Ability to work evenings, weekends, and travel as needed.
  • Passionate about music and performing arts
  • Organizaed, detail-oriented, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Collaborative, service-minded, and a strong communicator
