Director of Advancement:
The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) seeks a collaborative, energetic, and results-oriented Director of Advancement to lead fundraising during an exciting phase of institutional growth. Reporting to the Executive Director and serving on the senior leadership team, the Director of Advancement will guide philanthropic strategy across major gifts, annual giving, foundations, corporate support, campaign planning, and special events—while also serving as a highly visible, outward-facing ambassador for the Museum. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the higher purpose of the arts generally, and the ability to share and encourage passion and excitement about modern and contemporary art.
This is a relationship-driven role for a person who enjoys being in the community, meeting new people, and building trust over time. The Director of Advancement will actively cultivate donors and partners and will personally make solicitation asks, in close partnership with the Executive Director and board leadership, to secure meaningful support for OMAA’s mission and programs. This role is best suited to someone who is naturally outgoing, enjoys initiating conversations, and is comfortable asking for support.
