APAP believes that pay transparency is a critical step toward pay equity and benefits both the job seeker and the employer. For those reasons, we are now requiring that employers include a salary range in all new job postings.
Postings that are backfilled from another association’s career center may not include salary information.
Arsht offers a competitive salary range. Candidates can expect a salary typically within the mid-range of $130,000 to $150,000, commensurate with experience, and reflecting our commitment to equitable compensation practices.
We also offer comprehensive benefits packages, professional development opportunities, and a supportive workplace culture dedicated to the performing arts and community impact. At the Arsht, we prioritize the well-being and growth of our team members, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to excel in their roles and contribute meaningfully to our mission.
The Arsht embraces equity and diversity and is committed to a workplace that is enriched by the people, needs, and desires of our diverse community.
