Lester Centre back on the hunt for a General Manager for city's Arts facility

The city's premiere arts facility is apparently once again seeking the services of a General Manager, with the City of Prince Rupert posting the Job opportunity at the Lester Centre to their Social Media stream this morning.

The Search committee is taking a twin approach towards the post, as outlined in their message on the new search.

This posting is for both an Interim General Manager position and a Continuing General Manager position. 

Should a suitable Continuing General Manager be found immediately, the Interim position will not need to be filled. 

Reporting to the Prince Rupert Performing Arts Centre Society board of directors, the manager will be responsible for directing all aspects of the theatre’s operation including, but not limited to, planning budgets, staffing, rentals, box office operations, scheduling of theatre and equipment use, community relations, staff development, volunteer management, marketing, advertising, building maintenance and capital replacement programs, and fundraising.

The City notes that the posting will remain open until the position is filled. 

If interested, you are asked to email your cover letter/resume with salary expectation to their HR Committee at: info@lestercentre.ca.

The full scope of the Job requirements and leadership characteristics for the post can be reviewed here.

The position had previously been filled by John Roper following a 2020/2021 search for a new GM, no details as to the status of the previous General Manager were revealed in the latest dispatch from the City.

More notes on the city's Arts Scene can be reviewed here.
