About the Role

Albion Theatre is wrapping up its 4th full season, having built a standout reputation in St. Louis for high-quality, impactful work. Now, we’re looking for an organized, adaptable General Manager to serve as our operational engine—running day-to-day logistics, keeping our tools aligned, and helping steer the company into its next era.

This is a hands-on role ideal for an arts administrator or versatile theatre professional who thrives in a multi-faceted environment. You’ll bring structure to our operations, optimize our day-to-day administrative workflow, and work side-by-side with leadership to scale our impact.

The Trajectory: As Albion continues to grow, this role is designed to evolve into a Managing Director position, taking on broader executive leadership as funding expands. Specific responsibilities will adapt around the strengths and interests of the right candidate.

Key Activities

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Master Planning & Financial Oversight: Partner with the Artistic Director to build and track the annual master plan and budget—mapping out timelines, expenses, and team deliverables to ensure every show is resourced to thrive.
  • Production & Operations Management (FOH & BOH): Oversee back-of-house and front-of-house operational logistics—including maintaining our network of designers, tech crew, and volunteers, organizing auditions, and coordinating logistics during production runs.
  • Marketing & Audience Growth: Oversee digital marketing, email campaigns, and promotional strategies to build brand visibility and drive ticket sales.
  • Season Curation & Rights: Participate in future season play selection and take point on securing performance licensing rights.
  • Community & Access: Develop and launch actionable strategies to expand outreach and accessibility for underrepresented and disabled theatergoers and artists.
  • Development & Grant Management: Work with the Board to cultivate individual and corporate donors, while leading the grant pipeline (scouting, writing, and reporting).
  • Company Administration & Partnerships:      Maintain and streamline      core administrative systems, databases, and contracts. Steward key organizational relationships, including our venue partnership with the Kranzberg Arts Foundation (KAF).

Knowledge, Skills & Mindset

  • Mission-Driven: Grounded in a strong commitment to Albion’s creative values and vision.
  • Organized & Agile: Excellent planning, execution, and interpersonal skills; you know how to keep projects moving without losing human connection.
  • Tech-Fluent: Comfortable leveraging modern workplace tools (Excel, Word, shared drives, scheduling platforms, social media) to keep teams aligned and organized.
  • Results & Safety Minded: Laser-focused on hitting outcomes, paired with an uncompromised concern for artistic quality and production safety.
  • St. Louis Connected: Knowledge of the local St. Louis area theater landscape is a strong advantage.
