National Nordic Museum

Search for the Executive Director and CEO

Seattle, Washington

The National Nordic Museum ("the Museum") seeks an experienced and
innovative cultural leader to be the next Executive Director and
Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO will propel the Museum's
mission to "share Nordic culture, values, and ideas with people of
all ages and backgrounds to create connections, generate dialogue,
and inspire new perspectives," using the Museum's assets and
platform to enrich lives in the Seattle area, nationally, and
beyond.

Founded in 1979, the National Nordic Museum is the only institution
of its size and scale in the United States to present the history
and culture of the entire Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Norway, Sweden, the regions of the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and
Åland, and the cultural region of Sápmi) and the legacy of Nordic
immigrants to the United States. Located along Seattle's working
waterfront in an iconic building that embodies Nordic design, the
institution is both a museum and a community gathering place. Home
to beloved festivals, pathbreaking exhibitions, innovation summits,
and visiting dignitaries, the Museum offers a unique perspective on
Nordic culture today.

Following the successful tenure of Eric Nelson, who will retire in
2024 after nearly 17 years of leadership at the Museum, the next
CEO will join an organization that has significantly increased in
size, scale, and impact. The Museum is federally recognized as a
nationally significant cultural institution and draws regional,
national, and international audiences. Today, the Museum has an
operating budget of $5.2 million and a staff of 38. The CEO will
guide the next stage of the Museum's remarkable trajectory by
providing strategic leadership within the organization and
partnership with its wide range of stakeholders. The next CEO will
lead an innovative, internationally recognized museum and cultural
hub.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the CEO will develop and steer
a compelling vision for local, national, and global engagement
within a top-tier cultural organization. They will be a genuine
relationship builder dedicated to an expansive, inclusive
understanding of Nordic nations and people. The CEO will take a
creative approach to forming partnerships and fundraising to
support the Museum's rising profile and future growth. This role
requires passion for the Nordic values of openness, sustainability,
social justice, and innovation, and a commitment to establishing a
diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace that puts these values
into practice.

The Executive Director and CEO will address the following key
opportunities and challenges:
Collaboratively define the Museum's future strategic vision to
drive relevance, innovation, and impact

Enhance the Museum's mission by expanding its regional,
national, and international reach

Ensure long-term financial well-being through exceptional
management and fundraising

Lead and develop a high-performing team to sustain excellence
as the Museum evolves

Elevate the governance structure to respond to the needs and
aspirations of the National Nordic Museum
