EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR- ACT ONE, INC.
Classification and Accountability:
• Classification: This is a full time (minimum 40
hour) “exempt” position under the Act One
Compensation and Classification program. The
person in this position will be an employee “at will”
as described in the Employee Handbook.
• Accountability: This position, which is filled by
the personnel committee of the Act One Board of
Directors, reports to the Act One, Inc. Board of
Directors. The position will be evaluated annually in
January before the annual Board of Directors
meeting which takes place in February.
General / Primary Duties and Responsibilities:
As the managing head and leader of the Act One
team, the Executive Director will supervise the
other members of the staff and community in
support of the overriding mission and vision of Act
One. The position requires an entrepreneurial
leader who is eager to see Act One expand and
grow in the quality and kind of services it renders,
in its donor and supporter base, and in its
reputation in the Christian community and in
Hollywood.
Particular duties of this position include:
• Supervision of all Act One staff, volunteers, and
advisory boards. The Excutive Director has the
authority to hire and terminate all other employees
of Act One, Inc., although the hiring of senior staff
is accomplished after consultation with the Board of
Directors.
• Broad oversight of anything that carries the Act
One name so that all the program’s efforts will be
branded by our founding keynotes: artistry,
professionalism, substance, and spirituality.
• Direction of all fundraising efforts, which
includes supervising the Director of Advancement
in identifying, recruiting and developing new
donors and maintaining relationships with our
existing donor base.
• Initiation of public relations and promotional
opportunities for Act One, with a particular
emphasis on mainstream media outlets.
• Ongoing development of the Act One
programs’ curricula and services to support the
goal of identifying, training, and mentoring
candidates to become hirable for the entertainment
industry.
• Initiation and direction of entrepreneurial
opportunities to expand and promote Act One
programs, to recruit students, faculty, and financial
support.
• Oversight of the preparation of an annual
budget every November for the coming year, and
ongoing oversight of all program expenditures.
• Principal liaison to any other church groups,
media ministry groups, universities, and industry
organizations so as to advance Act One’s mission
and effectiveness.
Job Requirements:
Skills, Experience, and Other Characteristics:
The ideal candidate for Executive Director of Act
One will possess the following desirable qualities:
• Christian Commitment: It is imperative that
this person is a committed Christian and can
articulate a Statement of Faith and personal
testimonial to that commitment. The candidate
should be a person of prayer who is an active
member of a Christian church. The candidate must
ascribe to the norms of a Christian moral life,
understanding that the witness of life is a
constituent element of our service to the Act One
community.
• Entrepreneurial Leadership and Administrative
Abilities: The Executive Director is the principle
mover and energetic force behind everything that
happens at Act One. The position calls for a person
with the creativity and courage to launch and
support efforts that will be consistent with Act
One’s mission and vision statement. Ours is a very
positive, “can-do” environment with a special
emphasis on service and stewardship of resources.
Knowing how to motivate and martial staff and
volunteers, and draw in an ever-expanding network
of collaborators is a constituent element of this
position.
• Professional Experience: The Executive Director
should be well aware of the executive and creative
climate in the entertainment industry, and should
make every effort to deepen and solidify
relationships with working professionals. This will
ensure that the program truly serves the industry
by providing training that meets the real needs of
the marketplace. The Executive Director should also
possess the qualities and experience necessary to
develop curriculum, particularly that meets the
diverse needs of students at all levels of
achievement.
• Non-Profit Experience: This job requires a
fluid and responsive relationship with the Board of
Directors. Responding to and implementing Board
priorities, and developing better communication
with Board members and committees will be of key
importance.
• Communications, Attitude, and Behavioral
Skills: The Executive Director should have excellent
communication skills, and be comfortable in public
speaking, press interviews, and formal meetings.
Because of the interdenominational nature of the
program, the Executive Director should be a person
who respects the goods present in different
denominations so as to be comfortable speaking
with media, faculty, students, and donors from a
broad spectrum of Christian traditions.
