- Lead the development and implementation of an exhibition masterplan that establishes a cohesive and compelling exhibitions program across our temporary and permanent exhibition activities and that draws on and amplifies the Museum’s core narrative.
- Oversee the management of the domestic touring, international touring, and Acton exhibition programs.
- Identify, negotiate, and secure partnerships that enhance the Museum’s reputation, revenue and visitation, both domestically and internationally.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders across various business units to leverage opportunities and resources for exhibition development and promotion.
- Represent the Museum in cultural forums, conferences, and negotiations, advocating for the Museum’s interests and enhancing its global profile.
