Maestre Music + Technology Arts
Studio Programming & Operations Manager
Maestre Music + Technology Arts, Garden City, Idaho, United States
Studio Programming & Operations Manager
Maestre Arts — Boise, ID (Part-Time | On-Site for Programs)
Maestre Arts is a multidisciplinary creative studio working at the intersection of music, design, and technology. Our programming is designed to expose the local and visiting creative community to high-quality creative and technical work—through live sessions, talks, workshops, and curated experiences—while maintaining high standards of execution and sustainability.
We’re looking for a Studio Programming & Operations Manager to take ownership of programming, coordination, and studio operations. This role exists so the studio can operate consistently and professionally, with clear ownership over execution and decision-making.
This role is not about vibes, hype, or social energy—it’s about judgment, execution, and follow-through.
Core Responsibilities
Plan and execute
2–3 curated programs per month
Own logistics end-to-end: scheduling, setup, teardown, hospitality, and timelines
Serve as the primary on-site point person during programs
Coordinate artists, speakers, collaborators, vendors, and attendees
Maintain the studio calendar, systems, and operational order
Handle inbound inquiries and initiate selective outbound outreach
Identify problems early and resolve them independently
Ensure programs reflect the studio’s standards, intent, and mission
Programming & Curation (Local + National)
Curate and coordinate
local and national artists, speakers, and collaborators
Apply the same standards of taste, preparation, and professionalism regardless of origin
Balance familiarity with discernment—local does not mean default, and national does not imply prestige
Initiate outreach selectively and intentionally; this is programming, not volume booking
Manage communication, scheduling, and light logistics with autonomy and restraint
Flag strong opportunities while protecting the studio from misalignment or overcommitment
Types of Programs You’d Oversee
Live performance sessions (intimate, audience present, often recorded)
Curated showcases (2–4 artists, structured programming)
Private listening sessions or invite-only industry nights
Workshops or talks centered on music, technology, or creative process
Content‑first sessions designed for filming and distribution
Occasional private rentals or brand‑led activations
These programs are intentionally small, controlled, and quality‑driven—not open mics, parties, or generic networking mixers.
Plan programs with clear awareness of budget constraints and expected income
Make programming decisions that balance creative quality with financial sustainability
Track basic program economics (costs, revenue, profit targets)
Adjust scale, format, or frequency based on results
Treat programs as experiments with feedback, not guaranteed entitlements
What We’re Looking For
Strong organizational and communication skills
Good judgment, discretion, and the ability to say no
Comfortable managing creatives while enforcing timelines and expectations
Calm under pressure; capable of making real‑time decisions
Financially aware—able to think in trade‑offs, not just ideas
Reliable, proactive, and detail‑oriented
Experience in studio operations, programming, or creative production is a plus, but execution matters more than titles
This role requires
taste, restraint, and follow‑through .
Compensation & Structure
Base monthly pay + per-program bonus
Bonuses tied to successful execution and performance
Programs typically generate ~$1,200 in profit
Flexible structure focused on outcomes, not hours
Schedule & Commitment
Part-time, ongoing role
Evening availability required for programs
On-site presence required during programs; light remote coordination otherwise
Why This Role Exists Maestre Arts already has the space, equipment, audience, and creative direction. What’s missing is consistent operational leadership to translate intent into repeatable, high-quality programming.
The studio prioritizes
substance over optics
and
craft over hype .
