Executive Director for Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS)

RCHS does more than preserve the past; we are actively redefining how local history is told. From managing the historic Gibbs Farm to publishing our award-winning magazine, we are committed to the work of Informing Our Present and Inspiring Our Future.

Why This Role is Different

• Build Authentic Partnerships: Strengthen ties with donors, the Board, and community stakeholders through a leadership style rooted in emotional intelligence, transparency, and trust.
• Drive Sustainable Impact: Grow our financial capacity and operational systems to ensure RCHS remains a vibrant, ethical steward of our shared stories for generations to come.

The Ideal Leader

We are looking for a senior leader who thrives on collaboration and ethical stewardship. Whether your background is in nonprofits, cultural institutions, or community advocacy, we value your ability to lead with clarity, accountability, and a deep-seated belief in the power of representation.

• Location: Primarily Saint Paul and Falcon Heights, MN.
• Compensation: $100,000–$120,000 plus a comprehensive benefits package.
• Culture: A workplace that values authenticity, respects work-life balance, and fosters a culture of mutual respect.
