DARWIN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Inc

GENERAL MANAGER

In its 30

year of service to the Northern Territory, the Darwin Symphony Orchestra (DSO) has become an

important community icon. Comprised of an Artistic Director, a professional Concertmaster and more

than 70 volunteer players, this community orchestra is recognised for taking its music to a long list of

isolated regions in the Territory, to communities which rarely have the opportunity to experience a live

symphony orchestra, as well as its regular concert appearances in Darwin.

We seek an outstanding individual to fill the role of General Manager. Reporting to the Board, this

position is responsible for all aspects of the business management of the orchestra. You should be an

experienced administrator preferably in the arts field with a capacity to manage competing priorities in a

dynamic and diverse role. With an extensive range of responsibilities including financial management,

revenue raising including corporate sponsorship and grants, public relations, marketing and operations,

this role requires highly developed communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to motivate

and lead people. An ability to understand the role of the DSO within the Northern Territory community

will be crucial to the ongoing success of the organisation. Demonstrating drive, flexibility, enthusiasm and

entrepreneurial flair, you will also represent and advocate for the orchestra. The DSO is heavily reliant on

the support of its volunteers, the community and its valuable sponsors, and a key component of the

General Manager role is the development and management of those relationships.

Candidates for the position must provide:

1. A current CV, including the contact details of 3 referees

2. Covering letter to summarise skills and your suitability for the role as outlined in the key

responsibilities

Application period extended to: 5:00pm ACST on Monday 22 January 2018
