The Arts Institute of Middlesex County is seeking an experienced, dynamic, and highly organized individual to manage approximately $3 million in incoming and outgoing arts, history, and culture-related grants annually. Grantmaking is primarily supported by the County’s own historic investment in arts, culture, and history, with additional support from the State of New Jersey and other competitive national sources of funding.
The ideal candidate will have an interest in arts, history, and arts administration, experience in grants management, and a commitment to equity in distributing resources. Primary responsibilities under this position include directly managing approximately $2.5 million in annual regrant programs that award funds to Middlesex County-based cultural organizations and programs, tracking approximately $150,000 in grant-funded Office programming and operating expenses, and providing administrative functions related to approximately $500,000 in other grant funded projects. Additional responsibilities include on-site visits, managing and facilitating technical assistance workshops open to the public, drafting and submitting reports to state and national funders, tracking and reviewing grantee reports, drafting and enforcing grant requirements, and aligning the grant programs with best practices in grantmaking.
The individual in this position will report to the Administration & Education Division Head and Office Director, and work closely with the Office’s History Grants Coordinator, Finance Manager, and various Program Managers and Coordinators, in addition to Middlesex County’s Department of Finance and County Counsel. This role requires regular communication with over 100 grantee organizations, new or interested applicants, and municipal entities, so strong communication skills are a must.
In this highly collaborative environment, the individual in this position may collaborate on other programs and initiatives at the Arts Institute of Middlesex County on and off-site. Responsibilities of the position require the role to be performed primarily in our offices at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center. Some remote work hours are available, and occasional local travel may be required to support specific programming and events/meetings.
