EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOB DESCRIPTION (JUNE 2020)

The Pine Hill Community Center (PHCC) needs a new Executive Director. The Executive Director oversees all activities connected with our small nonprofit organization, from getting the furnace repaired to fundraising. We are looking for an individual who is passionate about bringing people together and also experienced managing a budget, someone who will bring fresh energy to the Center, while making sure current providers and participants continue to feel at home.

Over the past 20 years, the PHCC has grown into a unique Central Catskills venue for performance and arts, a special gathering space providing services to young and old, families and individuals and, most important, as a resource for creating community. Last year, we had more than 13,000 visitors! This is a unique opportunity to envision new ways to build community and to help the PHCC stay strong and relevant during these challenging times and into the future.

The Pine Hill Community Center is run by an active Board of Directors and the Executive Director reports to the Board. Interested applicants should email a cover letter and resume to the Search Committee Director, Jan Albert ([email protected]). The Board will review all applications and interview selected candidates in June and July, anticipating a start date in September. A detailed list of job qualifications for this PART TIME JOB (28 hrs. per week) follows:

• Candidates must be able to commit to three 7-hour days on site. The remaining hours will include part of one weekend day per month (to attend Board meetings), occasional evenings to host major events at the Center, and time offsite for grant writing and networking sessions with other non-profit groups.

• The Executive Director is the “face” of the PHCC; expected to be a welcoming presence for all visitors, sharing information and answering questions. At the same time, he or she must supervise a small part-time staff and volunteers for different events, as well as interacting with members of an active Board of Directors. The position requires someone capable of communicating clearly and thoughtfully with a wide variety of personalities, while keeping an eye on the “Big Picture” to remain efficient.

• The Center currently has a Program Development Manager running 16 classes on Zoom. When we reopen the PHCC building to the public, these classes will continue online, while the new ED will be instrumental in helping us find and figure out how to support inspiring teachers for in house offerings such as pottery, music, and afterschool programs.

• Candidates must have prior budget management experience, be organized with paperwork and able to read program and operating budgets.

• The ED is responsible for overseeing maintenance and operations of equipment and systems at the PHCC.

• The ED leads outreach and fundraising efforts for the Center’s programs and operations. The Board helps with grant applications, but we expect the Executive Director to identify interested donors and foundations, help write proposals, and to track the results.

• Candidates must be adept at writing and using basic social media and willing to learn new tools as they develop to communicate with members and funders, publicize donation drives, etc.
