Executive Search

The responsibilities of leadership in a 21st-century arts organization are greater than ever. Organizations are aiming to be more inclusive of underrepresented perspectives and experiences, creating new opportunities—and challenges.

Our comprehensive knowledge of today’s leading audience leadership practices gives us the chops. Our stalwart networks give us the reach. And our steadfast commitment to nurturing fresh voices gives us credibility. We go deeper and wider in our search, presenting organizations with the strongest possible hiring options while offering a la carte services for clients that require less than a full armada.

Our executive search is rooted in your goals for both mission fulfillment and organizational culture enhancement. In-depth conversations about the specific pain points and needs of your organization fuel our search, which is punctuated with constant feedback and updates to present teams with the best options available from vetted and committed candidates.

We’re further distinguished by the onboarding service built into each of our searches. We take time to help new hires develop professional goals for their first months on the job. We’re committed to supporting success.

Recent searches include Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, George Street Playhouse, Asolo Repertory Theatre, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, McKnight Center for the Performing Arts, and Writers Theatre, among others.
