The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is seeking an Executive Director to provide operational, financial, and strategic leadership for the Alternator. This is a hands-on role at the centre of everything we do — from grant writing and financial management to supporting artists through installation and engaging with our community of members and partners.

Much of the day-to-day work is administrative. The ideal candidate is someone who finds genuine satisfaction in the infrastructure that makes great art possible — who sees a well-managed budget or a refined workflow as an act of care for the artists and communities we serve.

The incoming ED will benefit from a structured three-month mentorship overlap with our outgoing lead, providing direct access to fifteen years of institutional knowledge, funder relationships, and community trust. Whether you are taking your first step into an executive leadership role or bringing established experience to a new context, this transition framework is designed to set you up for long-term success.
