On-Site About The Apollo In December 2024, The Apollo Theater became the first organization honored by the Kennedy Center Awards, emphasizing The Apollo’s impact on the past, present, and future of American culture and the performing arts. From the longest-running talent show in America with Amateur Night at The Apollo, which launched the careers of icons like Ella Fitzgerald and Lauryn Hill, to performances from beloved legends like Smokey Robinson and Lil’ Kim and today’s biggest stars like Drake, The Apollo has always been a home for artists to create and a home for audiences to see incredible music and art from legendary artists. The Apollo is an American cultural treasure. It is a vibrant non-profit organization rooted in the Harlem community that engages people from around New York, the nation, and the world. Since 1934, The Apollo has celebrated, created, and presented work that centers Black artists and voices from across the African Diaspora. It has also been a catalyst for social and civic advocacy. Today, The Apollo is the largest performing arts institution committed to Black culture and creativity. The Apollo is currently seeking a full-time Executive Assistant to the President & CEO. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organized, discreet, and proactive professional to serve as the right hand to the President & CEO of a flagship cultural institution. The Executive Assistant is a trusted partner in the Office of the President & CEO, ensuring that the executive's time, communications, and priorities are managed with the highest degree of professionalism, accuracy, and confidentiality. A central part of this role is serving as a primary point of coordination with the Board of Directors and its committees. We appreciate the value of myriad life and work experiences, recognize that many paths might adequately prepare someone for this role, and encourage anyone who believes they would be a strong fit to apply. The successful candidate will be exceptionally detail-oriented, an excellent communicator, able to anticipate needs and solve problems independently, and comfortable interacting with senior leaders, trustees, artists, donors, and external partners at the highest level. Position Overview
