Museums Australia is the key national association of museums, galleries and collecting organisations. We are looking for a National Director to help guide the organisation, its members and the National Council in furthering the interests of museums, galleries and the collections sector in general across Australia. The National Director works closely with the staff of the National Office, State branches and with the organisation’s key office bearers, especially the National President.
The role is a challenging one, requiring the ability to further the interests of members wherever they are. Influencing policy at national, state/territory and local government levels is a key part of the role. As a membership based organisation it is also important to manage the operational budget including maintaining a sustainable revenue base.
To fulfil the National Director role you will need to have a good understanding of the museum and gallery sector, and of the needs of a membership and advocacy organisation.
