Description | |
We are excited to announce an opportunity to join the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C. as the Director of Advancement. Join our dynamic team and serve a key role in driving positive changes at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. As the Director of Advancement, you will direct a capital campaign to reimagine our Atrium level galleries and public spaces while revitalizing and enhancing our exhibition experiences, online and onsite. The Director of Advancement, working with the Museum’s Management Team, will help catalyze new programs, digital engagement, and outreach efforts. We are seeking a skilled professional with diverse experience to contribute to our mission of educating, challenging, and inspiring our audiences on the breadth of American experiences. With the second largest collection of any Smithsonian Museum, this is a unique opportunity to help reimagine what a history museum can and should be today, and tomorrow to help us achieve our goal of greater reach, greater impact, and greater relevance. Through our collection, we can tell any story in American history. The United States Postal Service has issued more than 2,500 stamps since the first stamps appeared in 1847. The images represent some of our country’s greatest achievements, its incredible natural beauty, as well as individual leaders, artists, authors and more. But we also recognize that not all-American stories have appeared on stamps. This strategic plan calls on us to do more in telling less known, though equally important, stories that deserve to be told to highlight the complex and complicated history of America. Key Responsibilities Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise Applicants who wish to qualify based on education completed outside the United States, must be deemed equivalent to higher education programs of U.S. Institutions by an organization that specializes in the interpretation of foreign educational credentials. This documentation is the responsibility of the applicant and should be included as part of your application package. Any false statement in your application may result in your application being rejected and may also result in termination after employment begins. Application Instructions What To Expect Next: Once the vacancy announcement closes, a review of your resume will be compared against the qualification and experience requirements related to this job. After review of applicant resumes is complete, qualified candidates will be referred to the hiring manager. Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion The Smithsonian Institution is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We believe that a workforce comprising a variety of educational, cultural, and experiential backgrounds support and enhance our daily work life and contribute to the richness of our exhibitions and programs.
