GRAMMY-winning chamber orchestra Apollo’s Fire (AF) seeks an Associate Managing Director (AMD), based in Greater Chicago. The AMD will lead and help to create our fundraising and outreach efforts for AF’s Chicago series. The series includes 8-9 concerts per year in downtown Chicago, Evanston, and Naperville; an educational residency in the south-side suburb of Matteson; and occasional school workshops in Chicago.

Working in an organizational culture based on consensus and teamwork, the AMD is responsible for sponsorships, donations, Board recruitment and engagement, and external relations. The AMD also collaborates with the Cleveland staff to enhance AF’s marketing and outreach efforts in Chicago, and to secure grants from Chicago-based funders.

This AMD will be one of the senior staff of the Apollo’s Fire organization. The AMD will not have a fulltime assistant in Chicago, but collaborates with the Cleveland staff and with AF’s Chicago-based consultant. This position reports to the Cleveland-based Managing Director and Artistic Director. This is a full-time or 3/4-time position (negotiable), working from home.
