Can you work in French?

If these few lines speak to you, you might be the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal’s next Deputy Director. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the institutional and architectural transformation of an institution of international caliber, located in the heart of Canada’s largest cultural hub, Montreal’s Place des Arts.

The Deputy Director will also be responsible for directing, supervising and organising all activities linked with the ongoing architectural transformation project.

Through rigorous planning, analysis, and supervision, the Deputy Director participates in strategic planning of the Museum’s orientations during this pivotal period in its history, as its major transformation project begins, and participates in the implementation of the objectives defined in all of the sectors under his or her guidance.

The Deputy Director directs the management of operations for the Museum as a whole by improving performance and encouraging efficiency in all departments; he or she oversees institutional and governmental partnerships, as well as Museum governance.
