Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Futures Without Violence (Founding Director of the Courage Museum), the Managing Director of Marketing and Communications will develop and lead an integrated marketing and communications strategy for the Courage Museum.

Joining at a formative moment, the Managing Director will shape the museum’s public identity, institutional voice, audience strategy, and national reputation. They will build on existing brand, messaging, website, social media, risk assessment, and planning work, bringing these efforts together under a clear communications vision.

The Managing Director will help the museum build visibility while navigating a complex public and political environment. They will position courage as a universal human theme, develop messages that connect across commonalities, and advise leadership on when and how to pursue public attention.

The portfolio includes brand, marketing, audience development, ticket sales, media relations, internal communications, digital strategy, content, crisis communications, and consultant management. The Managing Director will be accountable not only for building awareness, but for converting that awareness into museum attendance and ticket revenue. Because the museum is still being built, the role requires both senior strategic judgment and a willingness to execute directly.

Salary Range $180,000-$230,000/year
