We are looking for people with experience, skills, and resources that can help us fulfill our mission. This is the official application for the Technical Director position.

Responsibilities:

• Artist Support: Be present during the mural painting week (annually held within the first couple of weeks in September) to offer on-the-ground guidance and support to the artists. This includes addressing any immediate needs, troubleshooting issues, and delegating tasks to volunteers or board members to ensure artists have the resources necessary to complete their murals within the week.

• Technical Oversight: Possess a solid understanding of mural production or be willing to learn, particularly regarding the equipment required (ladders, scaffolding, lifts). Ensure that all safety protocols are followed and assess whether the ground/pavement surrounding the mural is appropriate and safe for the necessary equipment.

• Wall Inventory Management: Cultivate and nurture strong relationships with local business owners, building managers, and property owners to secure mural walls. Maintain a detailed, up-to-date inventory of walls, including measurements (height, width, total square footage), surface type, and any areas requiring repairs.

• Building Owner Communications: Reach out to building owners who have signed up via our wall roster early in the year to confirm their participation and secure their commitment. Ensure that building owners understand any necessary wall repairs and set clear deadlines for completion. Effectively communicate the excitement and benefits of hosting a mural, while explaining how our program works to balance creative freedom with expert curation that aligns each mural with the unique character of the building for a mutually beneficial experience.

• Wall Outreach: If additional walls are needed or if some signed-up building owners change their commitment, proactively seek out new locations. Identify buildings that could be a great fit for murals and approach building owners to explore the possibility of their involvement.

Qualifications:

• Experience in mural production or a related field - or a willingness to learn. For this position, the following are necessary qualifications:

• Direct and proactive communication with building owners and artists is necessary for this role

• Ability to problem-solve and troubleshoot on the spot
