About the role

James Madison University invites applications for a full-time Technical Director in the School of Theatre and Dance. The 12-month Administrative & Professional position oversees the scene shop, production budgets, and coordination with faculty and guest artists. Teaching opportunities in technical direction may be available. The role requires strong leadership, safety oversight, and the ability to mentor students while accommodating evenings/weekends in a dynamic theatre program.

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.
