Nudge Art Program Director

Founded in 2017, gen Equality is a 501(c)3 social enterprise on a mission to creatively activate social change
. Through our partnerships and work with schools, companies, and communities, we address broader issues of equality, inclusion, and safety in our communities and culture.

Each Nudge Art program is unique because no two classrooms or communities are exactly alike, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for equality and inclusion. However, all Nudge Art programs do share a common framework and common traits. Every Nudge Art program begins with educational workshops and culminates with the creation of a unique work of art in a public area.

All Nudge Art murals share three traits:

• Led by a local artist
• Co-created by community
• Stand for equality, inclusion, and belonging.

As Program Director, you will oversee program operations and execution of Nudge Art programs. This includes:

• Managing the Program Manager
• Liaising and communicating with program partners and participants
• Facilitating workshop sessions (if needed)
• Overseeing program procurement and maintaining budget
• Building good working relationships and interfacing with program partners to ensure successful program execution
• Overseeing and monitoring operations in order to ensure smooth operational execution

The ideal candidate will be a highly organized operational leader and skilled relationship manager who is able to develop and execute efficient operations strategies and tactics. The Program Director will work directly with gen Equality’s Executive Director, other Directors, Program Manager, and Teaching Artists, as well as leaders and stakeholders from program partner organizations including the NYC Mayor’s Office, the Partnership for New York City, NYC Housing Authority, and others.

The Program Director will at times interface directly with participants, and will be part of the program delivery team (alongside the Program Manager, Teaching Artist(s), and other gen Equality team members, as needed).

The gen Equality team is geographically dispersed and works in a hybrid model. For place-based program execution (e.g. mural setup, painting days, etc), team members must be on-site. However, for other program and management work, team members may work from home.

This is a ~2 month contract Program Director opportunity with potential for extension into a full-time opportunity.

• Passionate about gen Equality’s mission to creatively activate gender equality and inclusion
• 5-7+ years of program management (or similar) experience
• Strong relationship management skills
• Highly organized, with strong attention to detail
• Previous experience with program management, operations management, or equivalent
• Strong communication skills (examples of communications include writing program communications for participants; creating program handouts; and crafting emails to participants, program partners, and program stakeholders)
• Based in New York City

• Professional experience with managing multi-stakeholder programs is a plus
• Familiarity with creative programming and/or arts programming is a plus
• Familiarity/experience with teaching, workshop facilitation, and/or training delivery a plus

Annualized Salary Range: $75,000-$100,000
