Job Summary

Own the end-to-end operations and community-facing engine for a youth choir program, aligning scheduling, billing, rehearsals, and performances with faculty, families, and donors.

  • Operations and scheduling: rosters, calendar, registration, attendance, and on-site staffing.
  • Enrollment revenue and donor enablement: tuition billing, scholarships, CRM coordination, and grant/sponsor support.
  • Stakeholder enablement: front-of-house and family relations, faculty coordination, and marketing to grow enrollment and engagement.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the member-operations platform — rosters, registration, billing, communications, attendance, and events.
  • Oversee tuition billing and collection, including need-based scholarships and overdue accounts.
  • Ensure each rehearsal day is scheduled, set up, and staffed.
  • Be present at most performances to oversee reception, supervision, and safe release of children (see Compliance).
  • Keep the seasonal music-preparation cycle on track with faculty, with music folders ready for the first rehearsal.
  • Maintain the operations calendar.
  • Oversee ticketing and front-of-house for self-produced concerts with trained help.
  • Serve as the central, responsive point of contact for families, faculty, and volunteers.
  • Partner with the faculty: present the annual calendar, share monthly attendance, and help secure accompanists.
  • Steward the St. Andrew’s rehearsal facility and performance venue relationship: book concert dates well ahead, coordinate sound, janitorial, and property management, and schedule concert-week stage rehearsals.

Requirements

  • A warm, personable, and genuinely engaging presence — the relational disposition to build trust with children, parents, faculty, and partners is the single most important attribute for this role.
  • A self-starter who balances autonomy and initiative with prudence, upward communication, and informed consent.
  • Three or more years in nonprofit operations, program administration, development, or marketing — ideally spanning more than one.
  • A record of accomplishment in process improvement and organizational development.
  • Marketing and communications capability: campaigns, social media, and content.
  • Hands-on experience with QuickBooks, plus fluency with modern cloud software and openness to automation and AI tools.
  • Strong organization and follow-through, with sound judgment and discretion around sensitive information about minors and families.

Preferred

  • Fundraising or development experience: donor cultivation, grant-seeking, or events.
  • Familiarity with CRM, email-marketing, and registration/billing platforms.
  • Affinity for music, the performing arts, or youth education.
  • Spanish or other language skills.

Benefits

  • Healthcare benefits negotiable.
