WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

re:Naissance started in 2017 by presenting updated productions of Baroque operas; now we create everything from sci-fi podcasts to Virtual Reality opera video games, to motion-captured live-stream performances. Our shift into emerging creative tech has allowed our company to thrive and grow at an unexpected rate and now we are seeking strategic thinkers and innovators with a backgrounds in business management, operations and HR to help us plan for scaling and continued growth, as well as refining our operations and internal systems for efficient company management.

We are searching for up to 4 candidates with experience in business planning and business management (knowledge in non-profit governance and planning is an asset) as well as non-profit operations and Human Resources. Our team works remotely and work hours can be flexible and tailored to candidate availability.

Mentorship

Mentorship is a core tenet at re:Naissance and we approach mentorship as an equal learning opportunity for both mentors and mentees. Our company works very collaboratively and candidates will work directly with company leadership and be supervised by the Artistic and Executive Director in addition to the Communications Manager. This includes daily check-ins and full hands-on support as needed.

Before starting work with our company, we identify career and mentorship goals with each of our candidates and if we are not able to provide appropriate mentorship sessions to support our candidates, we will engage mentors outside of our company to support candidates.

re:Naissance Opera is a bold new opera company located on the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaʔ and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm nations. We are driven by local artists and a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, intersectionality, innovation and collaboration. We produce modern-day operatic performances that represent and connect the diverse communities, people and storytelling media unique to our home-city of Vancouver. We are the creators of OrpheusVR, The Apocrypha Chronicles, and Eurydice: Live From The Underworld and we believe that by harnessing the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of opera; by empowering storytellers that have been excluded from the operatic space, we will change the world one opera at a time.
