About the role

Boston Children's Chorus (BCC) is among the nation's most respected youth arts organizations, using the transformative power of music to connect diverse communities, cultivate empathy, and inspire civic engagement. Founded in 2002 by renowned community leader Hubie Jones, BCC serves approximately 2,000 young people annually through neighborhood choir sites, school partnerships, performances, and community programs across Greater Boston. The organization's commitment to accessibility ensures that financial barriers never prevent participation, creating opportunities for young people from more than 100 zip codes and a wide range of cultural, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds to learn, grow, and perform together. As it approaches its 25th anniversary, the organization remains deeply committed to fostering belonging, amplifying youth voices, and advancing dialogue across communities through music. With a strong reputation, a dedicated Board, and a compelling vision for the future, BCC continues to demonstrate how arts education can serve as a catalyst for connection, leadership development, and social change.
The Opportunity: As Boston Children's Chorus approaches a significant milestone anniversary, the organization seeks a visionary and values-driven Executive Director to lead its next chapter of growth and impact. Working with an engaged and committed Board of Directors, the Executive Director will serve as the organization's chief executive, overseeing mission stewardship, fundraising, financial sustainability, external relations, organizational culture, and strategic implementation. This leader will guide the execution of a newly developed four-year strategic plan designed to strengthen BCC's long-term sustainability, relevance, and prominence while ensuring that artistic excellence, youth development, and social inquiry remain at the center of every decision. The Executive Director will have the opportunity to build upon a strong organizational foundation while navigating a rapidly evolving landscape for arts and culture organizations. Working closely with staff, board members, donors, community partners, and families, the successful candidate will lead ambitious fundraising efforts, expand strategic partnerships, strengthen organizational capacity, and champion BCC's role as a national leader at the intersection of music education and social impact. This role offers the chance to guide an acclaimed institution with a proven model and passionate stakeholder community while helping shape the future of arts education, youth leadership, and civic engagement across Greater Boston and beyond. The salary range for this position is $160,000–$180,000.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
