DRILL is Looking for a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

DRILL is nipaluna/Hobart’s contemporary youth dance company, and is the primary provider of contemporary dance engagement opportunities for young people in southern lutruwita/Tasmania.

DRILL is run by a small team consisting of a 0.8 FTE Artistic Director and a 0.8 FTE Executive Producer, with casual tutors, choreographers, technicians and project staff, who are engaged on a project basis.

The Executive Producer works in close partnership with the Artistic Director to co-lead and manage the organisation, contributing to and implementing our vision, planning and programming, and supporting excellent governance. The Executive Producer’s focus is management of people, facilities, resources and finances; including marketing, and sourcing funding. The Artistic Director’s focus is artistic leadership, program design and implementation, creative development, mentoring, and relationships with stakeholders. They report jointly to the Board of DRILL and work in close partnership to implement DRILL’s strategic plan.

The major workload of the position is strategic, management and administrative; but as a member of a small team there will also be requirements to perform day-to-day operational duties when necessary; and opportunities to exercise other skills of the appointee where this is efficient and effective — eg, design, web, production & IT.

Working hours are flexible within operational requirements. The successful applicant is required to work regularly on weekends and work evenings at various times throughout the year in relation to major seasons and rehearsals.

DRILL also invites people who have an exceptional capacity but may not meet all selection criteria to apply and who would be appointed at a lower level with some support provided. We also welcome applicants to propose an alternative staffing arrangement, and would consider shifts to our current structure depending on skill set and availability.

The current General Manager role has been reimagined into the Executive Producer position, which will involve greater involvement in working with the young people, to better fit DRILL’s operational needs. A handover with the current General Manager is planned for February, 2024 - in a flexible arrangement across the month, to ensure a smooth transition for the successful applicant.

Closing date for applications is Monday 15th January, 2024. Applications should be emailed to apply@drillperformance.com. Interviews are expected to be held after 22nd January, 2024.  

A confirmation of receipt will be sent, please telephone if you have not received your receipt.

If you would like to discuss the position further, please contact DRILL’s Chair, from Jan 3 2024.
