About Us

At the National Liberty Museum, America’s foundational value is both celebrated and explored through thought-provoking exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives. While rooted in Old City Philadelphia, we connect the nation’s founding principles to the present. We do not promote political agendas or advocate for one side over another. Instead, we create space for people to engage directly with the ideas, tensions, and responsibilities that come with a free society.

Position Summary

Are you interested in shaping dynamic educational experiences that bring civic ideas to life? The National Liberty Museum is seeking an Assistant Director of Liberty Education to lead the design and execution of our educational programming. Liberty Education is the National Liberty Museum’s distinctive model for learning - rooted in our exhibitions and grounded in the belief that liberty must be practiced, not just studied. It uses the ideas and tensions explored in our galleries as a catalyst for participation, moving beyond passive civics to engage learners in questioning, dialogue, and action.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone with experience managing and growing museum or informal education programs. You will oversee a portfolio of public-facing experiences, including adult programs, a nascent NEH-funded podcast, and a growing tour program, as well as youth initiatives such as Young Heroes Awards, and LEAP (Learning & Engagement Across Perspectives), our flagship program for students in grades 4–8. You will also oversee our long-running Young Heroes Awards, a long-running program

You should be comfortable owning programs end-to-end - developing models, managing partnerships, overseeing budgets and logistics, and ensuring strong delivery. You will be
comfortable including a diversity of perspectives and talking to people you may not agree with. For this role, strong leadership, an entrepreneurial mindset, and disciplined organization are essential.

Candidates whose experience is primarily classroom-based, without direct responsibility for program development and management in a museum or similar setting, are unlikely to be a fit.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Management

Oversee a portfolio of education programs from concept through delivery, evaluation, and refinement
Manage six-figure program budgets, calendars, and internal systems such as Muse and HubSpot
Align all educational programming with exhibitions and institutional priorities
Hire, supervise, and support education staff

Leadership & Strategy

Lead the development and growth of LEAP as the foundation of Liberty Education
Build and manage partnerships with schools, educators, and community organizations
Take steps to help NLM emerge as a national thought leader
Partner with the Development team to sustain funding for education programs

Programs

Develop and implement youth and adult education programs
Oversee tours and public-facing educational experiences
Establish and use feedback systems to improve program quality and impact
Grow our revenue generating programmatic offerings

Qualifications

Required (candidates must meet all of the following)

4+ years of program management experience in a museum or cultural institution
Demonstrated experience developing and overseeing programs (not solely delivering them)
Experience managing a program portfolio – including timelines and budgets
Experience supervising staff
Experience working cross-functionally and managing external partnerships (e.g., schools, educators, speakers, or community organizations)

Preferred

Background in civics, history, or humanities-based content
Experience working with youth audiences and teachers
Experience with project-based or experiential learning
A strong network in museum or civics education

Salary range: $65-75K

The National Liberty Museum is an Equal Opportunity Employer seeking a diverse workforce. Interested applicants are asked to please forward your 1) resume, 2) cover letter, and 3) professional references in ONE (1) document for immediate consideration to [email protected]. Incomplete or improperly formatted applications will not be reviewed.
