Director

North Carolina Division of State History Museums

Raleigh, NC

Full-time

$225,000 - $350,000


DESCRIPTION:


The NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources seeks the next Director for the NC Division of State History Museums (DSHM), which includes the NC Museum of History (NCMOH) in Raleigh, and seven regional museums across the state.


The flagship NCMOH, founded in 1902 by Frederick Olds, is embarking on a transformational $180 million physical renovation that will occur over the next 36 months. The incoming Director will have the unique opportunity to contribute to the reimagining of a centrally located museum that welcomes more than 450,000 visitors and 80,000 schoolchildren annually to learn about 14,000 years of inhabited history in the State of NC. The NCMOH’s updated, modernized design and refreshed programming will usher in a new era for the Museum and the Division (NCMOH/DSHM). Capitalizing on the redesign, the talented NCMOH/DSHM team of 120+ employees will have a new canvas on which to present the rich and complex history of the Old North State.


Few museum leaders across the US have an opportunity to craft a shared vision and high-performing culture throughout a division comprising multiple locations across a state’s entire footprint. In this position, the Director leads the flagship NCMOH in close collaboration with seven Division components: the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City; the Museum of the Cape Fear in Fayetteville; the Tobacco Farm Life Museum in Kenly; the Mountain Gateway Museum in Old Fort; the Maritime Museum in Beaufort; the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras; and the Maritime Museum in Southport.
