Museum Overview The Brooklyn Museum is a world-renowned cultural institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing art, history, and heritage. Our mission is to bring people together through art and experiences that inspire celebration, compassion, courage, and the will to act. Our vision is to serve as an institution where art is a powerful force for personal transformation and social change. Celebrating our differences and learning about our diverse communities through our collections, exhibitions, and programming is the core of who we are and what we do.

We are committed to creating and cultivating a community of talented, passionate people who are inspired to make the Museum an important hub of community activity and a great global destination. Our staff have the opportunity to grow their professional skills and work collaboratively with colleagues they admire and respect.

About The Role We recently launched a new website, CMS, and CRM, marking a pivotal moment in our digital transformation. We’re now seeking a Senior Product Manager to guide and evolve our digital ecosystem, including ticketing, membership, content management, and internal systems.

This is a high-impact role for a versatile product manager who thrives on doing a bit of everything—analytics, user testing, technical scoping, and cross‑functional communication. As the sole Product Manager working with internal teams and external developers, you’ll be the connective tissue helping to shape the visitor experience, drive revenue, and improve operational efficiency. You’ll be responsible for identifying, hiring, and managing external developers and technical vendors to service various museum projects. You understand how technical pieces fit together, and you’ll work closely with technical partners to clarify constraints, troubleshoot blockers, and keep the work on track.

This is a hybrid, full-time role with flexible hours and a rare opportunity to support mission‑driven digital initiatives at one of New York’s most vibrant cultural institutions.

This is a two‑year, grant‑funded union position.
