About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director to provide strategic leadership and oversee all operations and activities of the Museum. This role involves working closely with the Foundation's Board of Trustees and other City departments to ensure the Museum's financial health, manage physical facilities and assets, and maintain a culture of organizational excellence. The successful candidate will be responsible for shaping the Museum's vision, enhancing its community role, and leading both strategic planning and day-to-day operations. Collaboration with the City's leadership team is essential to align the Museum's objectives with the community's critical needs and values.

Candidates for the Executive Director position at the company should have a proven track record in a senior management role, preferably within a cultural or educational institution. The role requires a leader who can work independently, with a focus on maximizing the effectiveness of the Museum's operations for the benefit of the community. Experience in financial management, strategic planning, and workforce development is essential. The ideal candidate will have a background in a relevant field, such as museum studies, arts administration, or a related discipline, and a deep commitment to the mission of the Museum as a vital cultural and educational resource. Strong communication and collaboration skills are a must, as is the ability to work with diverse stakeholders and ensure the Museum's activities are in line with the broader goals of the City.
