THE OPPORTUNITY
Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA), a North Minneapolis-based, youth-focused, visual art center for developing youth and community is hiring its first Managing Director in two decades. This role has strategic and operational responsibility for the execution of JXTA’s mission.
What does success look like?
The person in this role must be committed to developing and maintaining partnerships, leading and supporting staff, enhancing program offerings, expanding organizational resources, reaching new communities, and raising the overall profile of the Juxtaposition Arts.
Who will you report to?
The Managing Director (MD) reports to the Board of Directors and works collaboratively with the co-founder/Chief Cultural Producer to set vision and strategy.
Really, who are we looking for?
A passionate, motivated leader ready to join a powerful team working to make our vision a reality.
Someone with strong negotiation skills, a competitive spirit, and decision-making prowess. Someone with a passion for the community and the mission, financial savvy, an ability to motivate and inspire people and to build strong teams.
You know the arts. You know community development. You know the intersection of the two. Your leadership is grounded in equity and you have deep experience working with black and brown communities.
When you wake up, you hit the ground running, fired up to motivate others to achieve their best. You’re good with numbers — like nerdy good — and you’re great with people.
You know how to engage donors, work with a board, and support staff. You sit in the back because you’re a learner taking everything in, but you’re quick to come to the front to share your insights, wisdom and ideas with others. You see patterns and can put together puzzle pieces to make a strategy work. You can cast vision, and you can execute with a diverse team.
