Produce engaging written and visual content across all platforms. Maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity that reflects ACM's unique character. Coordinate with freelance designers, photographers, and videographers as needed.
Lead marketing and promotional campaigns for exhibitions, public programs, fundraising events, and special initiatives. Collaborate closely with museum staff to ensure cohesive messaging and maximum visibility.
Plan, allocate, and manage the museum's annual advertising budget across digital and traditional channels. Monitor campaign performance, optimize spend, and report on return on investment.

Familiarity with graphic design tools (Adobe Creative Suite or Canva) and comfort coordinating with freelance creatives.
Solid experience and comfort with technology, including working knowledge of Google Workspace (Drive, Docs, Calendar) and Microsoft Office.
Positive, detail-oriented, and adaptable with a genuine enthusiasm for the arts.
Experience with media relations is a plus.
Familiarity with the South Shore and greater Boston cultural landscape is a plus.
Requirements
