Job Description:

Gallery Hosts play a crucial role in supporting our mission to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning by creating fun, memorable experiences for all visitors. This position requires an active and engaging individual who can regularly move throughout the gallery, ensuring a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Gallery Hosts are expected to proactively interact with visitors across all exhibits, facilitating activities and guiding learning experiences to optimize the guest experience.

Gallery Hosts ensure that guests’ needs are met; patrol public areas to ensure safety and adequate capacity and assist with light cleaning of exhibits and high touch surfaces. Gallery Hosts must be attentive to the safe movement of staff, visitors, and assets and must be able to respond to emergencies according to defined procedures. Gallery Hosts are stationed in exhibition areas, including the IMAX Theater and must have the ability to move around exhibit galleries, assist with escorting guests from one location or floor to another other and assist with safely evacuating guests in case of fire alarm or emergency. Gallery Hosts are managed and coordinated by the Guest Services Leadership Team.
