at Fractured Atlas
🏢 About Fractured Atlas
Fractured Atlas is the country's largest fiscal sponsorship organization for artists, supporting thousands of creative projects across all disciplines and states. As a fully remote nonprofit, it combines a commitment to equity in the arts with a practical service model that helps artists access funding, time, and community. Working here means directly enabling bold, independent creative work that often falls outside institutional support.
About This Role
This hybrid role splits time between administering international artist visa services (managing peer letters, lawyer communication, and application reviews) and providing day-to-day support to member artists in the fiscal sponsorship program. You'll be a critical point of contact for artists navigating complex immigration and administrative processes, ensuring they can focus on their craft. It's ideal for someone who thrives on detail-oriented operations and empathetic member service.
💡 A Day in the Life
You might start by reviewing a batch of visa applications, emailing lawyers for updates, and coordinating peer letters for international artists. Later, you'll switch to member support—answering questions about fiscal sponsorship, processing requests, and troubleshooting issues. Throughout, you'll balance deadlines and maintain clear communication in a remote, mission-driven team.
