Le Livart is a multidisciplinary arts centre that brings together exhibitions, artist residencies, events, educational activities, and space rentals. Our small team manages many projects at once.

We are looking for a motivated and organized person with a strong service-oriented mindset who enjoys bringing structure to numbers, files, and follow-ups to keep everything moving forward.

The Role

Reporting to the Executive Director, you will act as her right hand for administration and operations. This is a versatile role covering accounting, payroll, human resources, administration, coordination, and communications.

You will be responsible for bookkeeping and payroll, ensure administrative follow-ups, and support the people responsible for the different areas of the organization. You will also play an important role in coordinating Le Livart’s communications: gathering information, managing the communications calendar, preparing or updating certain content, and coordinating with the people responsible for various projects.

Depending on the time of year, communications may represent a significant part of the position.

The human side of the role is equally important: you enjoy supporting the team, welcoming new team members, and contributing to a thoughtful and caring work setting.

Artificial Intelligence and Innovation
