The Managing Director serves as the primary administrative leader of SOLI Chamber Ensemble and is responsible for advancing the organization’s operational effectiveness, financial coordination, and long-term sustainability. Working in close partnership with the Artistic Director, Education Director, Board of Directors, and other key personnel, the Managing Director helps support and advance SOLI’s artistic, educational, and community-facing work through strong planning, communication, and administrative execution.

This is a full-time leadership role for a mission-driven administrator who can manage multiple priorities in a small arts organization, support long-term organizational growth, and help translate SOLI’s vision into effective day-to-day operations. In a small organizational environment, the Managing Director is expected not only to oversee key administrative functions, but also to step in and directly carry out important operational, development, financial coordination, or communications work as needed.

The Managing Director provides administrative leadership and organizational coordination across SOLI’s core functions, ensuring that artistic and educational priorities are supported by effective operations, sound planning, and clear communication.

->Key Areas of Responsibility

Organizational and Administrative Leadership
The Managing Director oversees SOLI’s day-to-day administrative operations and helps ensure that organizational practices remain effective, timely, and aligned with applicable nonprofit standards. This includes supporting internal coordination, managing key timelines, maintaining communication with leadership and the Board, and ensuring that important operational responsibilities are completed.

Program and Production Support
The Managing Director supports the implementation of SOLI’s artistic and educational activities through administrative and logistical coordination. This includes contracts, travel, scheduling, production logistics, and other planning needs connected to concerts, residencies, tours, and special projects.

Development Oversight

The Managing Director works in close coordination with the Artistic Director and Education Director to support SOLI’s artistic and educational priorities through effective organizational planning and program implementation, while partnering with the Manager of Finance and Data Systems and relevant board committees on financial oversight, reporting, and compliance-related functions. In a small organization, this role requires collaboration, flexibility, and the ability to operate effectively within a shared leadership structure.

->Scope of the Position
This role is responsible for administrative leadership, coordination, and follow-through across the organization’s operations. In a small organizational environment, the Managing Director is expected to both oversee organizational functions and directly perform key duties when needed.
