Portland, Maine, United States Sea Education Association Full time

Sea Education Association (SEA), , invites
applications for a full-time President.

This is a hybrid position. The successful candidate will
be available to work on campus in Woods Hole (Falmouth),
Massachusetts.

SEA, a nonprofit, and an interdisciplinary experiential
education organization dedicated to studying the oceans, seeks a
bold, visionary leader and strategic thinker to serve as its next
President.

SEA is an equal opportunity employer and strongly
encourages applications from people of color, persons with
disabilities, women, and LGBTQ+ candidates. SEA is committed to the
development of a multicultural environment. We value input of
multiple viewpoints and perspectives across the organization; our
goal is to create an academic and working community that is rich in
cultural, social and intellectual diversity.

Over the past 50+ years, SEA has taken more than 10,000 college,
gap year, and high school students on transformative educational
journeys of discovery—to explore in Woods Hole and by tall ship to
understand the world's oceans and maritime environments while
simultaneously developing decision-making, team building,
communication, and leadership skills.

SEA works to inform worldwide marine stewardship and policy and
inspire the next generation of ocean scholars, stewards, and
leaders through its educational programs, research, and
collaborative partnerships. This is an exciting and unique
opportunity to lead an organization with global impact, and to do
so on an intimate scale amid a culture that prioritizes
collaboration and teamwork. The President serves as the chief
executive officer and will be responsible for providing
transformative leadership to promote SEA's mission and vision while
ensuring the vitality of the operating model.

SEA is amid an exciting post-pandemic expansion encompassing
program innovation with a focus on shore-based undergraduate
offerings and high school programming, and with a renewed energy
for cross-institutional partnerships. The next President will
accelerate these programmatic directions, bring fresh energy and
execution to SEA's philanthropic endeavors, work collaboratively
with the SEA Senior Management Group and Trustees to increase SEA's
fundraising, and develop and implement the next five-year plan.
Additionally, the next President will expand the scope and impact
of the organization's research, outreach, and innovative
programming at sea aboard tall ships, on shore, and online.

The successful candidate will provide the support and resources
needed to retain its faculty and staff of approximately 100
(including sea-going staff); continue to advance SEA's dedication
to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); and ensure the
organization's human and fiscal resources are well managed. The
President needs to be able to navigate the space where scientists,
scholars, educators, advocates, and policy makers interact to make
positive change for the future of the oceans.

THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT

Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the President is accountable
for educational, marine, fiscal, communications, development, and
operating activities. These include: to ensure safety, quality, and
efficiency of operations and educational programs; to raise funds
and manage financial resources; to foster increased enrollment; to
develop and empower staff; to advance and expand SEA's academic
reputation and visibility with colleges and universities it serves
and wishes to serve, the scientific community, foundations, and
donors; to maintain and enhance SEA's global impact; and to ensure
long-term institutional sustainability. The President's role is
outward and future focused as the face of SEA. The person filling
this role will build and maintain relationships and networks that
will propel the organization forward while garnering the resources
needed to thrive. The President is a steward of the organization's
culture and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and
inspires all in the SEA community to advance its mission. The
President, in conjunction with the Board, defines and maintains
SEA's long range planning goals, advises the Board and Members in
matters relating to their responsibilities, and assists the Chair
in determining the content of all Board meetings. The President's
senior management group (SMG) consists of the Academic Dean,
Director of Marine Operations, Dean of Enrollment Management,
Director of Development, and Dean of Finance and Administration.
The President works with:

The Academic Dean to assure the overall quality of the
educational programs, develop innovative new courses and programs,
and review and approve recommendations for full-time faculty
appointments. They also jointly steward the ongoing partnership
with Boston University, as SEA's school of record.
The Director of Marine Operations to ensure quality and safety
of programs onboard SEA's vessels.
The Dean of Enrollment Management to nurture relationships with
colleges, universities, and high schools and to maximize enrollment
from a pool of qualified students.
The Director of Development to determine the on-going
fundraising plan for both annual appeals and capital campaigns and
to cultivate, solicit, and steward major donors.
The Dean of Finance and Administration to develop the budget
and allocate resources to meet SEA's strategic goals, both short-
and long-term.

exceptional leader who will position SEA as a national trailblazer
in ocean and experiential education and research. An ideal
candidate will bring many of the following skills and
