Business Manager
As Business Manager at Nat. Brut, you will be responsible for developing and overseeing the magazine’s fiscal strategy. Ideally, this strategy will embody the magazine’s mission and comprise a diversified array of revenue streams that includes grant writing, advertising, merchandising, fundraising, and strategic partnerships. As a volunteer-based, arts nonprofit, Nat. Brut takes it as a pragmatic given that its endeavors must not only be risky, subversive, and compelling, but also fiscally prudent. We see this reality, however, as an opportunity rather than a limitation. As such, our Business Manager will be encouraged and expected to collaborate with senior staff on both current and prospective projects, products, partnerships, and events. Finally, our Business Manager will be in charge of monitoring and documenting Nat. Brut’s financial activity and periodically sharing that information with the magazine’s Board of Directors.
