About the Role

The Company seeks an Executive Director to provide strategic and operational leadership at a pivotal point in its development. The Executive Director will advance the organization’s mission, lead its staff, oversee institutional finances, and strengthen its public profile through programs, partnerships, advocacy, and digital engagement. As chief executive and primary fundraiser, this leader will cultivate and secure philanthropic support from individuals, foundations, corporations, and government funders. The role also includes partnering with the board, building constituencies, serving as a public ambassador, and guiding the organization through change while sustaining a positive, accountable workplace culture. Candidates should bring at least ten years of senior leadership experience in a museum, cultural institution, or comparable organization, along with a strong commitment to the arts and gender equity. An advanced degree in a relevant field is preferred, though equivalent nonprofit experience may be considered. The ideal candidate has a record of strategic planning, major-gift fundraising, board partnership, and financial and operational stewardship, including experience with complex nonprofit finances. Strong communication, public speaking, relationship-building, and team leadership skills are essential, as are adaptability and comfort with digital innovation.
