The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategic planning, management, and execution of the museum's fundraising program, with a focus on expanding and enhancing its capacity to raise funds. This includes overseeing all aspects of the advancement program, supervising frontline staff, and managing a portfolio of donors and prospects. The CAO will be expected to work closely with the museum's leadership, including the Director and the Associate Director of Advancement and Communications, to create and promote effective cultivation and solicitation strategies.

A background in a complex higher education or large cultural organization is preferred. The role requires the ability to work within a large and diverse institution, a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the capacity to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. The CAO will also be expected to travel up to 25% of the time and should be adept at working with a variety of constituents, including board members, staff, and donors at local, regional, and national levels.
