About the role

The Brooklyn Museum seeks a passionate Senior Manager of Community Engagement who will play a critical role in forging connections with our local communities, engaging local government officials, and developing partnerships with local and national social justice organizations.

As part of this framework, the Museum is committed to meaningfully engaging audiences around issues of climate justice, mass criminalization, and economic development through exhibitions, public and educational programming, and strategic partnerships.

The successful Senior Manager of Community Engagement is a strategic thinker, dynamic community liaison, collaborative organizer, and advocate for the Museum and its work. They have demonstrated good judgment and grace in the face of difficult situations. They are considerate and respectful of diverse perspectives and experiences. Attention to the highest levels of discretion, honesty, and professionalism are essential.
