Assistant Director of Liberty Education, National Liberty Museum, Philadelphia

About Us

At the National Liberty Museum, America’s foundational value is both celebrated and explored through thought-provoking exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives. While rooted in Old City Philadelphia, we connect the nation’s founding principles to the present. We do not promote political agendas or advocate for one side over another. Instead, we create space for people to engage directly with the ideas, tensions, and responsibilities that come with a free society.

Position Summary

Are you interested in shaping dynamic educational experiences that bring civic ideas to life? The National Liberty Museum is seeking an Assistant Director of Liberty Education to lead the design and execution of our educational programming.

•Oversee tours and public-facing educational experiences
•Establish and use feedback systems to improve program quality and impact
•Grow our revenue generating programmatic offerings

Qualifications

Required (candidates must meet all of the following)
•4+ years of program management experience in a museum or cultural institution
•Demonstrated experience developing and overseeing programs (not solely delivering them)
•Experience managing a program portfolio – including timelines and budgets
•Experience supervising staff
•Experience working cross-functionally and managing external partnerships (e.g., schools, educators, speakers, or community organizations)

Preferred
•Background in civics, history, or humanities-based content
•Experience working with youth audiences and teachers
•Experience with project-based or experiential learning
•A strong network in museum or civics education
