REPORTS TO:

Brand Director

Ars Nova seeks an innovative marketer, an ace project manager, and an artful designer to join us as our Brand & Content Associate. The Brand & Content Associate amplifies our artists into the wider world and connects a new generation of audiences directly to our dynamic community of boundary-pushing, genre-defying artists.

Ars Nova exists to discover, develop and launch singular theater, comedy and music artists who are in the early stages of their careers. We are the stomping ground and launching pad for visionary and adventurous artists to create new work. We strive to build the next generation of audiences for live entertainment by prioritizing a zeitgeist-forward aesthetic and marrying it with accessible ticket prices.

We are committed to creating a collaborative and innovative environment that champions diverse voices and groundbreaking new work.

Some of our recent highly recognized work includes: the NY Times’, NYMag, and New Yorker “Best of 2022” Oratorio for Living Things; the Lortel Award-winning “Outstanding Musicals” (pray), Rags Parkland Sings the Songs of the Future and KPOP, which transferred to Broadway in 2022; and the Tony Award-winning smash-hit Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812.

Ars Nova recognizes both that it is a predominantly white institution and that our institutional practices have historically led to the exclusion of people of the Global Majority from our team. We are actively working to become a more diverse, anti‑racist, inclusive organization. We hope candidates of the Global Majority will accept our invitation to apply.
