President

The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), home to curious people and adventurous ideas, seeks an inspirational, entrepreneurial, and operationally astute leader to serve as its next President and drive its mission to support artistic experimentation, inclusion, and accessibility throughout the arts. As the performing arts are being reimagined for a new generation, BAM is a legacy institution with a global reputation and deep local roots that seeks a President who sees both the urgency and the opportunity of this moment.

In the world’s most competitive philanthropic market, the President will inspire board partners and team to help build a high-capacity Board, deepen donor relationships, and convert BAM’s broad goodwill into transformational support. The President will partner closely with the Board to modernize systems, align strategic priorities, and launch initiatives that drive programmatic and financial growth. Just as importantly, they will embrace an institutional mission rooted in transparency, equity, and inclusiveness to realize sustained creative excellence.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees and working in collaboration with the Board, the Artistic Director, BAM’s senior leadership team, and its staff, the President is responsible for the financial and operational health of BAM and providing the strategic and executive leadership to power its ongoing artistic and community impact. A tested leader, the President will sustain and grow BAM through fundraising, distinctive programming, community engagement, marketing, and brand-building, and by driving innovations that create new sources of earned and contributed revenue and develop future audiences.
