What Skills Does An EA Need To Support An Artistic Director?

To support Artistic Directors, an EA should possess excellent communication, organization, and time-management skills. They should be able to manage the director’s calendar, prioritize tasks, and handle administrative tasks efficiently. As Artistic Directors often work on multiple projects simultaneously, an EA should be able to track progress and provide regular updates. Knowledge of the performing arts industry would be useful, as well as the ability to create presentations, reports, and other documents. Attention to detail, accuracy, and the ability to work under pressure are also essential in this role, as an EA supporting an Artistic Director would often have to work under tight deadlines. The EA should be proactive, adaptable, and able to work independently to support the Artistic Director in their day-to-day operations.
