Role Overview

Internal Affairs & DEI is the so-called culture-keeper of Untitled: you shape the social atmosphere, build community, and help ensure our work is respectful, accessible, and equitable. You’ll support fair, inclusive processes across recruiting, onboarding, and production: working to reduce bias, expand opportunity, and make sure people can do their best work in a healthy environment, while also setting norms for communication, maintaining feedback/reporting pathways, and stepping in to mediate conflicts or address issues early and responsibly.

Core Responsibilities

• Schedule weekly board meetings, secure a meeting room, and keep board operations organized.

• Take board meeting minutes and track action items so decisions turn into follow-through.

• Foster community through social programming (at least 2 events/semester: one larger, one smaller; format is up to you).

• Maintain an environment where diversity is supported and inclusion is actively practiced across Untitled’s work.

• Support fair hiring/recruitment by helping reduce bias in interviews and selection processes.

• Serve as a neutral, trusted resource for board members, cast/crew, and applicants when concerns arise.

• Manage conflict resolution when interpersonal issues begin affecting a production; mediate respectfully and proactively.

• Maintain and regularly check an anonymous Complaint/Concern Form; respond appropriately and escalate when necessary.

• Facilitate post-mortems and feedback collection after show wraps; help translate feedback into improvements.

• Oversee conduct/process resources (e.g., ensuring people know how to access support, and coordinating relevant trainings like Path to Care when applicable).

• Participate in project selection conversations to help ensure a diverse range of voices and stories across the season.

• Occasionally contribute to funding efforts at External Affairs direction (directly applying for grants, coordinating who applies, and/or supporting fundraising pipelines).

Qualifications

Required:

• Strong interpersonal skills, discretion, and emotional maturity.

• Familiarity with DEI practices and building equitable processes.

• Reliable communication and consistent board meeting attendance.

• Ability to handle sensitive situations with fairness and confidentiality.

Preferred (Most applicants won’t have any/all of these… Don’t worry! We’re more than willing to train the right person.)

• Experience with facilitation, mediation, community organizing, or HR-style work.

• Grant-writing, donor outreach, or fundraising experience.
