Art Pop Manager

​

Part-Time | Somerset, MA | 16 guaranteed hours/week | $32/hour | On-site

​

Help creativity and community thrive

​

At Art Pop, we believe creativity brings people together, builds confidence, and opens doors to new possibilities. As the creative programming division of Southcoast Opportunities for Artisans and Makers (SOAM), a nonprofit organization, we offer classes, workshops, camps, birthday celebrations, and other hands-on creative experiences.

We're looking for an organized, enthusiastic, people-centered Art Pop Manager to lead our team and oversee the day-to-day operations of our creative studio. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys helping others succeed, creating welcoming experiences, and making thoughtful improvements.

You don't need to be an artist or an art teacher. You do need to enjoy leading people, solving problems, building relationships, and keeping a community-centered space running smoothly.

​

What you will do

​

Lead and support our team

• Supervise, coach, and support instructors, assistants, and studio staff.

• Coordinate staffing schedules and coverage; set expectations and provide feedback.

• Support training, staff development, and a positive, accountable team culture.

• Build relationships with staff and help ensure a welcoming experience for families.

​

Keep Art Pop running smoothly

• Oversee studio readiness and day-to-day operations.

• Handle payroll preparation, scheduling, and routine customer communication.

• Coordinate birthday bookings, private class inquiries, and family follow-up.

• Maintain practical systems for supplies, inventory, studio organization, and facility upkeep.

• Identify opportunities to improve workflows and proactively address operational needs.

​​

Bring your ideas

As you learn our programs and get to know the community, you will have opportunities to contribute to programming improvements, family engagement, community relationships, and the continued growth of Art Pop.

​

Who we hope to meet

• Someone with experience supervising or managing employees in a customer-facing setting.

• A dependable, organized leader who takes initiative and follows through.

• A warm communicator who can set clear expectations and offer constructive feedback.

• Someone comfortable with email, schedules, spreadsheets, and everyday office systems.

• A person with a genuine connection to creativity, children, community, the arts, or nonprofit work.

​​

Relevant experience might come from retail, hospitality, recreation, education programs, the arts, or another service-oriented setting. Art teaching experience is not required.
