TITLE
Director of Operations and Finance
LOCATION
Dance/NYC is operating as a hybrid of remote and in-person work.
Because Dance/NYC only serves the five boroughs of New York City and surrounding counties of Bergen, Hudson in New Jersey State, and Rockland, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State; and the City of Yonkers, Dance/NYC is only recruiting cultural workers who are based in this geographic area and able to commute to Dance/NYC’s offices and events regularly.
Dance/NYC’s offices are located on the Garden Floor (ground floor) of the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, 218 East 18th Street, New York, NY 10003 in Gramercy. Access to the Garden Floor entrance includes a two-step descent. A lift to the entrance and an accessible bathroom is available onsite. Elevators are not available in the building.
POSTING DATE
May 16, 2021
APPLICATION DEADLINE
The position is open until filled, but preference will be given to those candidates who apply on or before May 29, 2022. Preference will also be given to those candidates able to commit to two years.
