The General Manager of Goodspeed Musicals is a key member of the Senior Operations Team who oversees the central functions of the organization’s administration and operations, including human resources, artist contracting and relations, company management, legal, IT, and more. Reporting to the Managing Director, the General Manager ensures that the organization’s people at all levels (staff, contracted artists, and more) have the necessary support to carry out their work and will play a key role in fostering a healthy culture in which team members and the artistic process can thrive. Note that while the General Manager plays a large role in the productions themselves, their role has a broader focus across the organization.
