Harrisburg’s Broad Street Market puts out call for new executive director

The Broad Street Market

Harrisburg’s Broad Street Market is searching for a new person to lead its everyday operations.

The nonprofit market announced on Thursday that it is accepting applicants for its executive director position, which is currently vacant.

“We are looking for someone who has strong interpersonal and communication skills, has management experience and who has a passion for markets,” said John Sygielski, chair of the market’s board of directors.

The position has remained open since Josh Heilman, the former director, stepped down about six months ago.

According to Sygielski, the director is “key” to implementing the board’s vision for the market and interacting with vendors, community members and customers.

Candidates must have experience with nonprofit and facilities management, strong decision-making and conflict resolution skills and excellent internal and external communications capabilities.

Those who are interested in applying can send a brief cover letter and resume to jobs@broadstreetmarket.org, by no later than Sept. 2.

“With the support of the board of the directors—a group of dynamic community leaders from throughout the region—the new director has an opportunity to lead the market into the future,” Sygielski said.
