Chief Development Officer

Los Angeles, CA (Hybrid)

Reports To: Executive Director

Los Angeles Ballet is seeking a Chief Development Officer who will have the opportunity to work with passionate, engaged leadership, a dynamic artistic team, and dedicated staff while being an important member of the growth team. This position will also direct the evolution of the Development department to align with the Company’s near and long-term goals.

Los Angeles Ballet (LAB) is the leading ballet company in Los Angeles known for staging classical, contemporary, romantic and neoclassical ballets, for pioneering new works and for presenting relevant works by many of today’s most innovative dance-makers. LAB’s original production of The Nutcracker is an annual holiday favorite for Los Angeles residents and delights regional, national and international visitors. LAB is the longest operating professional ballet company in Los Angeles history. As Los Angeles Ballet celebrates its 21st season, the Company has implemented a multi-year growth plan to increase its programming, talent, community outreach, financial health, overall footprint in Los Angeles, and position in the national dance community.

"I think of LAB in its 50th year and how the company might look back on the seismic shift in its 20th year that moved the Company forward. LAB is now in an era of capacity building, future planning, and dreaming of what’s next. Things that seemed so distant or unattainable in the early years are now within reach. This next phase requires a more sophisticated approach to operations, programming, and fundraising. LAB is an environment where one is encouraged to be a creative thinker as well as critical, to contribute their expertise and to draw on lived experiences to improve processes. It is a serious responsibility being the official ballet company of the 2nd largest city in the country. I take to heart every win, however great or small, because I know they are part of the foundation that the Company will rely on 30 years from now." — Julia Rivera, Executive Director
