Full Job Description

The New Bedford Whaling Museum ignites learning through art, history, science, and culture, rooted in the stories of people, the region, and an international seaport.

A leader in the SouthCoast’s cultural landscape, the Museum welcomes more than 100,000 visitors annually through dynamic exhibitions, programs, and events.

Position Overview

Reporting to the Director of Public Programs & Private Events, the Events Sales & Operations Lead is a key operational and client-facing role responsible for the successful coordination and execution of private rentals and institutional events.

This position serves as the primary point of contact for event clients and acts as the central connector between internal teams, vendors, and Museum operations. The role is designed to take ownership of day-to-day event logistics, problem-solving, and front-of-house coordination—ensuring a high standard of service while allowing the Director to focus on strategy, partnerships, and program development.

Serve as the primary problem solver during events, addressing issues in real time
Oversee front-of-house experience, ensuring events run smoothly and professionally
Communicate effectively with vendors, staff, and stakeholders throughout event lifecycle

Demonstrated ability to take initiative and lead event execution independently
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, including spatial awareness
Confidence in managing vendors and enforcing policies with professionalism
Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate across teams
Familiarity with scheduling systems, MS Office, and standard A/V coordination

Additional Requirements

Availability for evenings and weekends based on event schedule

Ability to lift 30–40 lbs and navigate multi-level event spaces
