The Triangle Wind Ensemble is Hiring!
Are you a passionate advocate for the arts? Do you have solid organizational and administrative skills? Can you successfully recruit donors and and help make our sponsors feel like the valuable part of TWE that they are? If so, the Triangle Wind Ensemble would love for you to consider applying for TWE's newly established Executive Director position.
Since our founding in 1999, our organization has been run almost entirely by volunteers. Now, however, we realize that TWE needs to take the next logical step for our organization and hire a paid Executive Director. We hope that this new ED can help us mature as an organization and more fully realize our potential as we strive to build community through music.
While this is a part time contracted position, with an estimated initial time commitment of six hours per week, we anticipate that the position, along with its time requirements and pay, will grow as our fundraising efforts become more focused.
We invite you to explore our website and the Executive Director job posting below to learn more about our organization. If you think you and TWE might be a good match, please send in a resume. We'd love to hear from you!
