Job Description

Background: Located on 200 acres in Potomac, Maryland, Glenstone strives to provide visitors with a unique experience through the seamless integration of art, architecture, and landscape. Its first exhibition building was designed by late architect Charles Gwathmey and opened to the public in 2006. It hosts a series of rotating exhibitions with artworks drawn from Glenstone’s permanent collection of post-World War II art. The outdoor landscape is home to monumental sculptures carefully placed amidst rolling pasture and unspoiled woodland. Admission is always free, and visits are scheduled by appointment to encourage an unhurried, intimate engagement between the viewers and their surroundings.

Glenstone is now embarking upon an expansion in order to strengthen its commitment to the viewing public. The centerpiece of this project will be the construction of a new exhibition building designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners. The building will highlight a series of discrete pavilions or “rooms,” surrounding a central water courtyard, many of which will be devoted to single-artist installations. It will provide significantly expanded gallery space and state of the art collection storage. Landscape architects Peter Walker and Partners will also oversee a revised master plan of Glenstone’s outdoor landscape. Finally, the expansion will incorporate a new public entrance and visitor amenities, to support a more comfortable and rewarding visit.
Job Purpose: The Visitor Experience Manager is responsible for managing the team of Guides, and liaising with the public on all matters related to the scheduling, coordination, and facilitation of visits to the collection. In addition, the manager is responsible for developing and managing Glenstone’s school visitation program with Montgomery County Public Schools.

This is a unique, multi-dimensional, and challenging position that requires the commitment to fulfill Glenstone’s vision for visitor experience. The Visitor Experience Manager will be a critical member of the team, executing the current visitor experience as well as developing the overall experience for Glenstone’s expansion.
