About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Animal Care to lead its Animal Care Division with a focus on marine life well-being, scientific excellence, and conservation impact. The successful candidate will be a visionary leader, driving the strategic development of animal care programs that align with the organization's mission to inspire ocean conservation. This role requires a champion of the highest standards in animal husbandry, with the ability to work closely with colleagues in education, conservation, and science to ensure a cohesive approach to the organization's goals. The VP will be responsible for divisional management, including budget oversight, and will play a key role in the development of living exhibits that reflect scientific accuracy and aesthetic standards while upholding the well-being of the animals. Candidates for the Vice President of Animal Care position at the company should have a minimum of 10 years' senior management experience in a large aquarium setting, with an expert-level understanding of marine animal husbandry. The role demands a proven track record in managing complex, multi-project environments and a deep commitment to organizational values and leadership competencies. The ideal candidate will have a background in marine conservation research and rehabilitation programs, and experience in fostering a culture of belonging, trust, and continuous growth. While not mandatory, a background in complex life support system design, a publication record in peer-reviewed marine science journals, and international experience in marine ecosystem management are preferred. The VP will also be involved in various institutional committees and will be expected to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion principles throughout the Animal Care Division.
