GENERAL MANAGER JOB SUMMARY 
CPT is hiring its first General Manager in eighteen years, and as a result is recharacterizing and broadening the role as it currently exists. CPT has a history of defining positions around the strengths of the best candidates and current staffing. The following job description acts as a guideline for CPT’s search process, but it will evolve based on the skills and experience of the finalist. 

The GM reports to and collaborates with the Executive Artistic Director for the implementation of CPT’s mission and programs. The GM works collaboratively with other leadership staff to create forward-thinking modes of operation and action steps to achieve a sustainable future.  
  • As a mid-size theatre, CPT requires that leadership staff not only supervise employees, but also perform tasks in a “hands-on” manner. 
  • The GM will supervise managers or staff of some or all the following departments: Front of House, Facilities, Financial Management, Human Resources, and Audience Engagement/Marketing. 
  • This role has day-to-day responsibility for all or some of the following: artist contracts, vendor management, hiring and human resources, information technology, work environment and office operations. 
Details follow below. 
  • This role will have a strong partnership with the Director of Finance and be involved in the budgeting process. 
  • The GM will represent CPT at meetings and discussions with certain external organizations. 
  • This role will have the opportunity to make significant changes to processes and develop new practices at the organization after completing one year in the position. 
CPT is primarily interested in candidates with at least six years of theatre administration experience. CPT will also consider exceptional candidates with less or different experience who may be well positioned to make a leap forward. CPT sees this hire as a step in restructuring the organization’s staff. For the appropriate candidate, this role could evolve into a Managing Director role in the future. 

Salary range for this position is $60k to $70k based on work experience and determined range of responsibilities.
