About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its distinctive cultural institution, which includes a mansion museum, working greenhouse, and curated gardens. The successful candidate will be responsible for strategic leadership, organizational management, and financial oversight, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and inclusion. This role requires a mission-driven leader with a proven track record in strategic planning, institutional management, and a deep commitment to the stewardship of collections and historic legacies. The Executive Director will also be tasked with driving audience diversification, community engagement, and maintaining the institution's contemporary relevance while preserving its rich history. Candidates for the Executive Director position at the company should possess a minimum of 10 years' experience in senior leadership roles, with a focus on cultural, educational, or nonprofit settings. The ideal candidate will have a background in museum operations, collections stewardship, and a strong understanding of audience development and community engagement. Key attributes include collaborative and people-centered leadership, a commitment to inclusion and accessibility, and the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with the Board of Trustees, donors, and the wider community. The role demands a leader who is a strategic thinker, adept at managing competing priorities, and is dedicated to the values of the institution, including generosity, collaboration, and thoughtful stewardship.
