The Company is seeking a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to lead and integrate its administrative and infrastructure functions in alignment with the organization's artistic and cultural mission. The CAO will serve as a trusted advisor to the President, the Board, and the Senior Leadership Team, providing strategic insight on organizational culture and ensuring that people, processes, and resources support the company's long-term sustainability.

Additionally, the CAO will be involved in facilities and security management, and will oversee the planning and execution of major capital projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and in alignment with strategic objectives. A passion for the company's mission and contemporary performing arts is a must, and familiarity with the New York arts and cultural landscape is preferred.
