Creative Arts Operations Assistant Manager

About the Role

This is a hands-on, mission-driven role supporting the operational growth and creative delivery of Monat’s arts-based programs. The Creative Arts Operations Assistant Manager will work closely with the Founding Team to plan and execute engaging programs for children and families. The role bridges project management, artistic direction, and community collaboration in a fast-paced, values-driven environment.

This is not a conventional administrative role, it demands initiative, cross-functional coordination, and a deep appreciation for creative learning. The successful candidate will help scale Monat’s impact through well-run programming, meaningful partnerships, and efficient team operations.

A warm, thoughtful communicator with a hands-on and solution-oriented approach.
