The National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (NAMAC) seeks a visionary and adaptive leader who is passionate about the role of the independent media arts in catalyzing creativity and a vibrant democracy. Founded in 1980, NAMAC is the membership organization and collective voice for the media arts field, providing convenings, leadership development, research, and cultural policy advocacy. NAMAC’s annual operating budget is approximately $430,000.

The Executive Director position is .80 (4 days a week) with a salary range of $72,000 to $75,000 (for .80) commensurate with experience, plus benefits. NAMAC’s two-person office is based in San Francisco within the 9th Street Independent Film Center, a hub of independent media arts activity. As a national organization, NAMAC is willing to consider having its Executive Director work from another urban area that has a strong membership base.

Reporting to a national Board of Directors and working with a small team of staff and project partners, the Executive Director ensures diversified resource development, quality programs that are responsive to member needs, strategic collaborations that advance the field, prudent fiscal management, and the continual evolution of NAMAC’s digital space to create a more connected, informed, and empowered independent media arts sector.

The Executive Director will work with the Board and staff in the fall of 2014 to develop NAMAC’s next strategic plan. Building on historic strengths, this effort will re-imagine NAMAC’s potential in a dynamic media arts landscape in light of trends including: the growth of multiplatform, interactive storytelling; increasing cross-sectoral collaboration; renewed interest in media literacy and media education; and heightened public awareness of the need to protect the open Internet as an essential underpinning for creative expression and a democratic society.

Applications must be submitted by June 16, 2014. See more details and instructions to apply for this position here.
