Administrative Projects Coordinator [Apply by July 3, 2026]
Since 2018 we at Sixty Inches From Center have been working to refine and test a way of designing and operating a worker-led arts organization and collective that is run by and centered around the needs of complex artistic communities, specifically within the Midwest. We see this process of organizational design as a creative project, requiring a creative, critical, and purposeful approach to processes, policies, and administrative work.
With that in mind, Sixty is seeking an experienced administrator and project manager to join Sixty’s operations and organizational design team, to lead and support administrative tasks that are part of the operational backbone of Sixty. We’re looking for someone who understands how clear, effective, and values-aligned approaches to operations and administration within a collective like Sixty is a way to show care for ourselves and our communities, and is an essential component of world-building.
The responsibilities that anchor this role fall into three categories: 1.) general “office” administrative work to support a hybrid team with a significant number of people in Chicago, 2.) basic records management and financial administrative support, and 3.) administrative support for special editorial and advocacy projects.
This role ideal for someone with a clear commitment to and knowledge of cooperatives, solidarity economies, and Sixty’s communities of arts workers (Indigenous, diasporic, queer, trans, disabled, multidisciplined). Although there are benefits to the person in this role being based in Chicago, it also has the option of being 100% remote and is open to anyone based in the Midwest.
Audience Development Coordinator [Apply by Jun 30, 2026]
Sixty is seeking someone experienced in nonprofit and grassroots marketing to support our Operations and Comms teams by evaluating and shaping how we tell Sixty’s story and connect with our audience of artists, writers, curators, archivists, art workers, educators, community organizers and the “art-curious.”
The primary goal of the Audience Development Coordinator is to help us hone our marketing and outreach strategies in order to deepen our relationship with our existing audience and reach new readers, supporters, partners, and funders in ways that are effective while aligning with Sixty’s values—we want to effectively connect with our communities while always putting people and the planet before profit.
In the first 4-5 months of this role the Audience Development Coordinator will get to know Sixty’s current marketing needs and strategies, evaluate strengths and weaknesses in our marketing, and develop a plan for improving our marketing in order to meet our organizational strategic needs in collaboration with the Sixty team. In the second 7-8 months of this role the Audience Development Coordinator will lead the implementation of their plan in close collaboration with the Comms and Operations teams.
This position will work most closely with the Communications Lead, Operations + Revenue Lead, and Revenue + Fundraising Coordinator, and several project leads such as the Sixty Collective leads and Sixty Regional leads. They will also occasionally work with members of Sixty’s editorial team. While working alongside others, the Audience Development Coordinator will set the tone and pace for the day-to-day management of their own projects and tasks.
This role is well-suited for someone with a background in community organizing, arts advocacy, community-building for artists, and operations work at a small and/or non-traditional nonprofit with an intergenerational team that has a blend of experience levels. This is also ideal for someone with a clear commitment to and knowledge of Sixty’s communities (Indigenous, queer, trans, diasporic, disability, and Midwest-based).
This is primarily a remote position and is open to anyone based in the Midwest, though being able to meet or attend events in person in Chicago is a plus.
