Chief Financial Officer/Co-Chief Executive Officer, Overture Center for the Arts
Acord (Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development
Executive director job in Madison, WI
Organization
Overture Center for the Arts (Overture Center) was dedicated on September 18, 2004, in the heart of vibrant downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Their vision is to create extraordinary experiences through the arts with a mission to support and elevate the community's creative culture, economy, and quality of life through the arts. Overture Center's unwavering commitment is to be the region's preeminent stage for extraordinary artistry, to cultivate diverse and emerging talent, and to serve as the arts' epicenter for community engagement. It strives to provide exceptional experiences for all.
Overture Center features seven state-of-the-art performance spaces and five galleries where national and international touring artists, nine resident companies, and hundreds of local artists engage audiences in over 500,000 educational and artistic experiences annually. Overture Center takes pride in presenting spectacular performances alongside free and low-cost programs that nurture creativity, curiosity, and diversity, while also driving the local economy and contributing to the vitality of a growing city.
Designed by César Pelli, the 388,000-square-foot facility is anchored by the 2,251-seat Overture Hall-a crisp geometric structure crafted from limestone and glass, featuring a grand lobby that extends over the sidewalk to shelter its entrance. Within the lobby, light-wood ceilings and travertine flooring create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The auditorium itself is defined by softly illuminated balconies cascading downward and an undulating acoustic ceiling, shaping a contemporary space. Unobstructed sightlines, superb acoustics, and cutting‑edge technical support ensure flawless performances of music, theater, dance, and more.
The 1,089-seat Capitol Theater preserves its original architectural splendor, including the Grand Barton Organ, ornate ceiling, wall niches, proscenium arch, and chandelier lighting. The Playhouse, a 350-seat thrust theater, and four flexible performance/event spaces expand performance and event opportunities. Through thoughtful integration of existing venues and historic building elements, the complex maintains the pedestrian‑friendly character of downtown Madison. The circa 1920 stone facade of the former Yost's Department Store remains as the main entrance to the Overture Center complex. At the heart of the facility, glass facades connect Overture Hall with the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art-a separate nonprofit entity with independent governance, operations, and maintenance. A new glass dome bathes the building's interior with natural light, illuminating a four‑story rotunda flanked by art galleries and the intimate Rotunda Stage, an indoor amphitheater.
Complementing its vibrant resident companies, Overture Center's 2025-2026 season offers a compelling lineup of performances. Eight major Broadway productions are gracing its stages, including The Book of Mormon, Some Like It Hot, Hamilton, Kimberly Akimbo, Back to the Future: The Musical, Riverdance 30 - The New Generation, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, The Great Gatsby, and Water for Elephants. The season further features a diverse array of other touring productions, the acclaimed “Up Close” and Cabaret Series, National Geographic Live presentations, and free Kids in the Rotunda shows. Notable highlights include performances by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Cirque Mechanics' Tilt!, and the comedic duo Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood.
Overture Center embraces its profound responsibility to mirror the community it serves and to honor the shared humanity at its core through its Community Advisory Council, which represents diverse constituencies. The Council advises Overture Center staff on community and educational programming and identifies opportunities to deepen community engagement and foster meaningful partnerships with local organizations and constituents. Overture Center is committed to accessibility, with at least 35% of their artistic experiences provided for no or little cost to the community through their 15 education and engagement programs, which include Kids in the Rotunda, Onstage Student Field Trips, International Festival, and The Jerry Awards. As an early leader in Broadway tactile tours and audio‑described performances, Overture Center is Kulture City certified and serves as a partner site for Disney Musicals in Schools, Carnegie Hall's The Lullaby Project, the Kennedy Center's Any Given Child, and The Jimmy Awards.
Overture Center Foundation, Inc., a private 501c(3) nonprofit corporation, became the sole operator of Overture Center on January 1, 2012. Overture Center Foundation is governed by a 24‑member board of directors, chaired by Jim Yehle. Overture Center engages a total full‑time staff of 88 employees, more than 208 part‑time and variable front‑of‑house staff, more than 276 variable stagehands, and more than 500 volunteers. The organization's projected budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, anticipates revenue of $24 million, with approximately $18.7 million from program services, $4.7 million from annual fund contributions and grants, and $3.3 million in special campaign and other philanthropic funding. Their endowment stands at approximately $8 million.
Community
With more than 270,000 residents, Madison is a city of diverse neighborhoods and vibrant communities, renowned for its rich cultural scene encompassing art, music, cuisine, and much more. As the capital of Wisconsin and the state's fastest‑growing city, Madison boasts a dynamic economy anchored by a robust and expanding technology sector, alongside numerous corporate headquarters. Access to quality schools, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure, coupled with affordability, income levels, and residents' engagement with these opportunities, are key factors that consistently rank the Madison region and Dane County among the nation's best places to live, work, study, and enjoy a high quality of life.
Home to nearly 50,000 students, the University of Wisconsin‑Madison remains deeply committed to impacting lives beyond its academic walls. Rooted in the enduring Wisconsin Idea, the university's outreach includes programs such as distributing farm produce to families in need, mentoring and tutoring local schoolchildren, and offering free humanities courses to low‑income adults. The city's downtown area continues to attract educated young professionals who favor high‑density rental housing, drawn by Madison's proximity to the university and major private‑sector employers.
Madison's five nearby lakes provide abundant recreational options, including fishing, boating, and watersports, while the 1,260‑acre University of Wisconsin Arboretum offers over 20 miles of trails for hiking and exploration. Recognized by USA Today as one of the top 10 cycling towns in the country, Madison boasts an extensive network of bike lanes and paths, complemented by a popular bike‑share program, BCycle. In addition, NerdWallet recently named Madison the greenest city in America, highlighting its excellent air quality and an impressive 12.7 parks per 10,000 residents-more than any other U.S. city. This accolade reflects Madison's 200 miles of hiking and biking trails, a bicycle population that exceeds cars, a strong presence of green jobs, and a growing number of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified buildings and venues.
