Performing Arts Studio Director

This is a Full Time Job

DESCRIPTION:

We’re looking for a dedicated, creative, and organized individual to serve as our Performing Arts Studio Director. The role is ideal for someone who loves both teaching and leadership. You'll guide the artistic and educational direction of the studio, teach acting classes, and handle the day-to-day operations that keep our school running smoothly.

Why You’ll Love This Role

In this position, you will have the opportunity to teach engaging acting classes for students of all ages and experience levels while overseeing daily operations, including:
• Scheduling and communications with students and families.
• Managing registrations.
• Coordinating billing.
• Handling student administration, ensuring a smooth and organized program.

Additionally, you will:
• Develop and maintain class offerings, workshops, and performance opportunities.
• Direct mid-year and end-of-class showcases that are appropriate for each student’s age and skill level.
• Support and mentor other instructors to maintain consistent quality and creativity.
• Represent the studio at events and within the community.
• Contribute to marketing, social media, and outreach efforts.

Who You Are

You bring a strong background in acting and musical theater, along with teaching experience and a passion for working with children and teens ages 5–17. You are:
• Highly organized and detail-oriented.
• Comfortable juggling multiple priorities in a small business environment.
• Confident and proactive, taking initiative while collaborating effectively as part of a team.
• A strong communicator and a people-person, able to connect with students, parents, and colleagues alike.

Basic piano skills and knowledge of harmonies are a plus, and experience with social media or graphic design is helpful but not required.

What We Offer

We provide competitive compensation based on experience, with potential for growth after six months. You will gain hands-on experience teaching and managing programs at multiple locations in Metuchen and Westfield, NJ. Our supportive, collaborative environment allows you to make a direct impact on student growth while shaping a performing arts program and inspiring the next generation of performers.
