Chief Executive Officer and Director [Royal Ontario Museum]

As we seek to make sense of the world around us and our place in that world, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is uniquely situated to help on this journey of discovery.  With a history spanning more than a hundred years, the ROM is recognized as one of the world’s finest.  Poised to build on its extraordinary legacy, the ROM is transforming itself, finding exciting new compelling ways to present and share its unique treasures and to engage with its communities.

On the threshold of this exciting new chapter, as Chief Executive Officer and Director you will orchestrate this voyage of discovery.  Working in partnership with the Board of Trustees, you will craft a vivid vision that captures the hearts and minds of all stakeholders and communicate it in a way that is universally meaningful and accessible.  As the Museum’s chief ambassador at home and abroad, you will advocate for public and private sector support, showcase its world class research, programs and collections and drive its position as a leader in the social media and digital world. Create innovative, one of a kind exhibits and programs that command attention and drive up attendance by enticing visitors to return again and again, making  the ROM even more compelling to members, sponsors and donors.

The ROM merits an influential and dynamic thought leader who will capitalise upon the Museum’s world-class standards of curatorial and programming excellence.  You inspire high levels of employee engagement and have demonstrated the ability to lead a diverse talent pool to new heights of performance.  You can exploit new media to reach new audiences in attention-grabbing ways.  As a champion of the Museum’s interests, you will be comfortable playing a central role in fundraising activities.  This opportunity is a truly exceptional one for a successful CEO or President seeking to lead a vital cultural icon.
