Washington, Washington, D.C., United States Seattle Aquarium Full time

About the Seattle Aquarium

Our lives depend on the ocean, the life support system for our

blue planet. Industrial pollution, destructive overfishing, oil

spills, noise, nearshore habitat loss, and warming and acidifying

waters caused by climate change are choking the ocean and

endangering all life on Earth—including ours. The ocean's future is

in our hands. At the Seattle Aquarium, our mission is

Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine

Environment. At this defining moment for our ocean

and our planet, this mission matters more than ever. The Seattle

Aquarium has a vision to make ocean conservation and restoration a

global imperative, a community value, and a deeply personal

priority for all—starting here on Seattle's waterfront.

The Seattle Aquarium is a leading marine conservation

organization with a global reputation and is the ninth-largest

aquarium, by attendance, in the United States. We work among global

leaders to advance animal well-being, marine and ecosystem science,

public policy, field conservation and restoration, and education

that benefits our one ocean. We are windows to the life of the

ocean, intentionally inspiring awe, empathy, and conservation

action. We present extraordinary habitats, marine life, and

educational programs that engage and delight all members of our

local and global communities. Our work is integral to a healthy

future for marine life, people, and the planet. Annual attendance

currently averages around 800,000 guests per year, and with the

Aquarium's $160 million expansion at the center of Seattle's

revitalized waterfront, attendance should grow by as much as 50%

when the expanded Aquarium opens in the summer of 2024. The

Aquarium employs more than 250 full- and part-time employees and

supports over 700 volunteers.

The Aquarium is driven by the SALISH Values:

Sustainable

Adopting and promoting, internally and externally, practices

that improve ocean health

Awe-inspiring

Creating captivating experiences for all audiences

Learning & Improving

Fostering, evaluating, and applying knowledge and

discovery

Inclusive Community

Recognizing that diversity is critical to achieve our

mission

Scientific Integrity

Ensuring our credibility with evidence-based

practices

Honoring Place

Using our location and history as a lens for larger

understanding

As a part of our values, the Aquarium is committed to creating a

diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization that reflects our

community. We recently adopted a new DEI strategic

plan and Regenerative

Plan to guide these efforts.

The COO Position

Working alongside the President & CEO and CCO (Chief

Conservation Officer), the COO will oversee all operational aspects

of the Aquarium, including facilities, finance, marketing, and

technology, in addition to participating in overall strategy

setting for the organization.

This work is in service of our mission and with a strong

foundation in our SALISH values and a commitment to the inclusive

operation of the Seattle Aquarium. The COO will mentor a team of

four, including the Vice President of Finance, the Vice President

of Marketing and Communications, the Vice President of Facilities,

and the Senior Director of Technology. The COO works closely with

the Board of Directors and executive team to help achieve the

Seattle Aquarium's strategic initiatives and further our urgent

mission.

The Seattle Aquarium is well positioned to develop and expand

successful restorative conservation programs with a variety of

partners locally and across the nation. We are evolving the

conservation role of a modern aquarium as we host and interact with

more than one million people every year around ocean conservation

and have a dedicated team of engagement professionals. The

strategic vision and leadership of the COO will be required to

bring this model of an integrated conservation organization to

fruition, and while no two days will look alike, we anticipate the

COO will devote their time and attention to the following key

priorities:

Strategic Planning

  • Develop and implement strategic plans in collaboration with the

    executive team while modeling and advancing cross-functional

    integration and collaborative ways of working.
  • Provide leadership and input to implement strategic plans,

    utilizing a system for tracking and reporting on the progress of

    the plan aligned with the diverse needs of the aquarium staff and

    programs.
  • Lead ongoing business review and communication of initiatives,

    report status on implementation progress, and reduce barriers for

    operational success and accountability.
  • Model through daily work how to strategize and lead in the

    advancement and integration of diversity, equity, inclusion, and

    regenerative practices in alignment with our S.A.L.I.S.H.

    Values.

Operational Management

  • Oversee day-to-day operations of the aquarium with the COO

    Team, ensuring a world-class guest experience and staff

    wellbeing.
  • Implement and advance sustainable/regenerative and equity

    centered practices within the Aquarium and advocate for

    regenerative and equity centered marine conservation practices

    beyond our walls.
  • Prioritize and integrate collaborative relationships and

    initiatives with Tribes, Indigenous peoples, and marginalized

    communities with Aquarium operations and programs.

Financial Management

  • Develop, help grow, and manage the overall budget as well as

    the budgets of the departments the COO oversees. Helps ensure the

    Seattle Aquarium values are represented in the various budgets such

    as the regenerative plan and DEI strategic plan.
  • Identify revenue-generating opportunities and manage expenses

    in close collaboration with the VP of Finance to ensure the

    Aquarium meets or exceeds its financial objectives.

Team Leadership

  • Build and lead a high-performing team, fostering a culture of

    collaboration and communication, staff wellbeing, and accountable

    management in the team environment.
  • Must be an emotionally intelligent leader and manager with

    proven successful experience supervising and mentoring senior staff

    with an investment in their professional development.
  • Represent the organization at local, regional, Tribal, and

    international conferences and events, with the press and media, and

    serve on various boards, coalitions, and committees.
  • Foster opportunities for learning mindsets and community

    engagements.
  • Foster openness to new, creative, intercultural, and

    collaborative ideas.
  • Ensure direct reports, operations, and budgets reflect our

    commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and are based on the

    Aquarium's SALISH values.
  • Build connections among staff and actively seek to understand

    the varied lived experiences of members of the Seattle Aquarium

    community.

    environment, have excellent judgement and decision-making skills,

    and produce desired results.
  • Strong internal and external communication and interpersonal

    skills, including with C-level teams and board members.
  • Strong financial management skills, including budgeting and

    revenue generation.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and capitalize on business
