Job Description

SCHOOL OF CREATIVE ARTS

OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF CREATIVE ARTS

Executive Director (26270270)

The Project is a Hong Kong Jockey Club (“HKJC”) Charities Trust Initiated Project that aims to bring transformative change to secondary school students by enhancing their creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking (4Cs) through arts and humanities themed visits, weekend and summer programs (“JCAH”).

JCAH is managed by School of Creative Arts (“SCA”), which is comprised of three well-established academic units: the Academy of Film, the Academy of Music, and the Academy of Visual Arts. Established on July 1, 2022, SCA is dedicated to nurturing future-ready talents for Hong Kong and beyond, while making a significant impact on society through innovative research, transdisciplinary studies and community outreach.

The Jockey Club Campus of Creativity (“JC3”) is a vibrant, interdisciplinary space dedicated to the exploration of music and sounds, and will be housing all the on-campus programs for the Project.

The Project is inviting applications from senior non-profit management professionals who are passionate about arts and humanities and their role in the future of education. The successful candidate will plan, lead and manage this transformative project.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the strategic planning, development, and execution of all programs under the Project framework as agreed with HKJC, which will include a suite of engaging weekend and summer programs on arts and humanities topics for secondary school students and the launch of the Academy of Creativity;
  • Report to the Dean of SCA; maintain good communication with HKJC, and ensure all timely reporting as required by the Project;
  • Work closely with the team leads for other programs led by the Dean, to ensure JCAH integrates with and benefits from other programs that take place at the SCA, JC3 and the university more broadly;
  • Lead and manage a team of research and project staff, ensuring the smooth delivery of project outcomes as well as professional development for team members, and fostering a positive work environment;
  • Work closely with the impact measurement team for HKJC projects at SCA to ensure robust research is carried out on the impact of the Project, with one potential output being a peer-review publication of the research;
  • Lead the curriculum design for the Project working with outside experts on the topics;
  • Oversee budgeting and resource allocation, and maintain smooth liaison with other university support functions, to ensure the successful delivery of initiatives;
  • Coordinate and foster cross-sector partnership between the university, arts and culture institutions, high schools, funder and other Project stakeholders to ensure that actions and goals are aligned; and
  • Lead and manage the JCAH team, ensuring professional development for team members, and fostering a positive work environment.

Requirements:

  • A tertiary qualification, preferably in a related field such as non-profit management, arts management, creative industries, and/or education;
  • Minimum of 8-10 years of progressive leadership experience in strategic planning and implementation; a proven track record of managing cross-disciplinary programs and cross-sector partnerships is desirable;
  • Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience working with higher education institutions, government, high schools, museums, or youth service organisations;
  • A passionate advocate for arts and humanities with transformational vision for creativity and innovation;
  • Results-oriented, driving the program to success while being open-minded to views from different stakeholders to enhance program review and improvement; and
  • Strong financial and resource management skills, with a track record of delivering programs on time and within budget.

The initial appointment will be offered on a fixed-term contract of three years. Re-appointment thereafter will be subject to mutual agreement and availability of funding.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Application Procedure:

Applicants are invited to submit their applications at the HKBU e-Recruitment System. Those who are not invited for interview 8 weeks after submission of application may consider their applications unsuccessful.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
