Our sister state arts agency in Colorado is looking for a new director. Here's a synopsis of the job description take from a WESTAF press release:
The Creative
Industries Division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and
International Trade is looking for a new executive director. The agency’s
mission is to promote, support, and expand the nonprofit and for-profit
creative industries in order to enhance Colorado’s quality of life, drive
Colorado’s economy, and grow jobs. The Division grew out of a long tradition of
service as a state arts agency and continues many of those traditional services
even as it strives to recast its work in terms of the broader “Creative
Industries” charge.
The successful applicant will benefit from the interest of an arts and creative economy governor. As Governor, John Hickenlooper maintains the pro-active interest in the development of the arts and the creative economy he exercised as Mayor of Denver, and as a successful member of Denver’s business community. In addition, the successful applicant will work intensively with Robert Clasen, the recently retired Chair and CEO of Starz, LLC. Mr. Clasen remains active in the entertainment industry and is a working chair of the policy council that guides the work of the Colorado Creative Industries Division.
The position of the Director of the Creative Industries Division is responsible for working with the Colorado Creative Industries Council to develop and implement the Division’s strategic plan. In addition, the Director is responsible for the direction, management, and evaluation of all agency operations, programs, and services, and for maintaining effective internal and external relations. The holder of this position provides leadership to the nonprofit and for-profit creative industries in Colorado; represents the agency and its advisory body to governmental and legislative bodies, arts organizations, creative industry corporations, private foundations, the media, and the public. The Director manages the administration of agency operations; and provides leadership to the agency’s personnel and contractors. The Creative Industries Director reports to the Director of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), serves on the OEDIT leadership team, and is responsible for the management of three full-time employees and three contracted professionals.
Applications are due on Friday, January 18, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
