Operations and Programs Manager
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), a leading nonprofit resource for artists’ video and media, seeks a Full-Time Operations and Programs Manager. Working closely with the Executive Director, this individual will oversee the daily and long-term operations of the organization and manage its dynamic programming. This position is ideal for those interested in nonprofit management and arts administration and passionate about advocating for a small alternative arts organization in New York City. The work environment is supportive of a healthy work-life balance in the company of colleagues deeply engaged with art.

Founded in 1971, EAI’s key activity is the distribution of a now-canonical collection of artists’ video and media, ranging from some of the earliest uses of video and computer technologies to contemporary digital projects. Throughout its history, EAI has worked closely with artists to represent and support them with an alternative paradigm that sustains experimentation and new approaches. Proudly a small arts organization, EAI strives to adapt to significant emerging concerns, including major technology shifts and advances in accessibility measures. This is an exciting time to be joining the organization as we plan for the release of a major new publication and important strategic planning initiatives.

The Operations and Programs Manager will be responsible for time-sensitive activities that are critical to EAI’s operations, while also engaged in implementing larger ongoing goals. Candidates should be organized, detail-oriented, creative and professional, and able to balance multiple long-term and short-term projects with superior time-management skills. A critical engagement with video and contemporary art and keen understanding of EAI’s mission and history will be indispensable. Previous experience in arts or non-profit administration is sought after.

Primary Responsibilities and Duties Include:

- Overseeing daily organization and administrative operations, including tracking ongoing projects and managing budgets, organizing Advisory Board and staff meetings and coordinating with outside vendors.

- Implementing operational policies and procedures to support a conscientious, hybrid-work model.

- Managing institutional partnerships, including programmatic collaborations and resource-sharing.

- Along with EAI’s Public Engagement and Development Associate, maintaining an annual grant calendar and reporting deadlines, EAI’s membership program, and donor receipts.

- Overseeing a range of programming activities, including public events, infrastructural needs, and new initiatives.

Compensation: $50,000 - $55,000 based on experience

Benefits: Full health benefits with the option for vision and dental.

Timeline: The projected start date for this position is January 2024. We will be accepting applications until December 15, 2023, and contacting applicants in early January, 2023.

This position is based at EAI’s Manhattan office, with a hybrid-schedule that includes remote work days and a generous vacation day / sick-leave policy.
