The Ideal Candidate
You are an extremely organized, well connected, theatre-loving, tech-savvy go-getter who isn’t afraid to jump in and move our organization forward.

An arts administration nerd at heart with a head for numbers, you have the training and/or experience to show it. You have post-secondary education or equivalent experience (which may include volunteering) in administration/business, marketing, fundraising, event planning, volunteer, and/or stage management. Experience with Microsoft Office is a must and familiarity with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Classroom, Canva, and Theatre Manager would be advantageous.
You are a team player, a clear communicator, and a people person who loves to network. You are committed to ensuring that our organization embraces its value statements, is sustainable, and grounded in ongoing work in the areas of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
Experience of working in a charitable arts organization and/or theatre would be a considerable asset.
Security check (paid by Quest Theatre) is a requirement. A valid driver’s license and comfort driving our small fleet of touring vans would be preferred.
