Director of Programs

Over the past seven years, CultureSource has grown tremendously—for instance, annual revenue has increased from $500,000 to $5.3 million, full-time staff have increased from five to thirteen, and members and partners are increasingly seeking our support. We are proud that we have been able to do more for and with our community, while at the same time attending to growing our own capacity to serve.

Within that ongoing evolution, this newly established director of programs role will work alongside the executive director and six program team staff members in guiding programmatic strategy and implementation and overseeing program operations that continuously improve.

Reporting to the executive director, the director of programs will be responsible for the operational success of our programming, partnering with the executive director, coordinating with a four-person organization management group, and supporting a six-person team of program managers and coordinators. The director of programs will also work across the organization internally, supporting cross-functional activity, and will externally engage in some client service and partner cultivation.

CultureSource is a Detroit-based coalition of cultural organizations and creative people that supports the vitality of Southeast Michigan’s arts and culture community. We use our expertise and connectivity to serve arts and culture nonprofits as well as artists, philanthropists, and policymakers all striving to have creative and cultural expression benefit the public across our seven-county region (a population area of about 4.8 million people).
