Contribute to development activities, including the administration of membership renewals.

Support digital communication strategies via email marketing and social media platforms (eligible for remote work).

EXPERIENCE & SKILLS

Prior professional engagement in public-facing or hospitality roles, particularly within cultural or tourism-focused environments, is highly valued.

Maintains a vibrant, professional presence with exceptional communication abilities to effectively advocate for the Foundation and Museum.

Proven aptitude for adopting service benchmarks, technical point-of-sale operations, and comprehensive merchandise details.

KNOWLEDGE & EDUCATION

Possesses a strong interest in or background within history, museums, sales, marketing, or business.

High school diploma required; some college experience preferred.
