Original job description

WHO WE ARE

Opened in 1914 and welcoming over 1.3 million visitors annually, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is Canada's most-visited museum, ranking among the top 10 cultural institutions in North America. At ROM, we are dedicated to building and sharing global collections, sharing knowledge, inspiring learning, and fostering community engagement. As a globally recognized field research institute, ROM houses an impressive collection of over 18 million artworks, cultural objects, and natural history specimens, showcased in over 40 galleries and exhibition spaces. We are committed to creating a space where art, culture, and nature intersect, connecting people and communities to the past, present and shared future.

As we continue to work toward our goals to transform and evolve as one of the world’s foremost 21st-century museums, we seek passionate and dynamic team members who embody our mission and values.

WHO WE NEED
ROM is seeking a strategic and highly collaborative Curatorial Project Director, Canada, to lead the vision and conceptual development of its new Canada Gallery. Reporting to the Co-Chief Curator, Art & Culture, this senior leader will convene diverse cultural voices and community members to explore the many perspectives and stories of Canada, guiding a multidisciplinary team from concept through preliminary design.

ROM’s Canadian gallery closed in 2022 in preparation for building upgrades and gallery renovations. Building on ROM’s interpretive planning and gallery rejuvenation work, this project will reimagine how Canadian stories are researched, interpreted, and shared through collections, including Canadian decorative arts and material culture, Indigenous belongings, natural history specimens, and objects reflecting diasporic communities. The new gallery is envisioned as an accessible, visitor-centred highlight on the Museum’s main floor.

Working with curators, interpretive planners, researchers, designers, and a project manager, you will help deliver gallery themes, an object list, a preliminary interpretive plan and design, and a production budget.

HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

Provide intellectual leadership for the Canada Gallery’s vision, conceptual direction, and interpretive framework.
Lead planning for the gallery redevelopment in partnership with the project manager, including timelines, budgets, research activities, and risk management.
Develop integrated approaches to curatorial research, interpretive planning, exhibition design, and community consultation.
Coordinate collaboration across Curatorial, Interpretation, Exhibitions, Design, Programs, Education, and Management.
Work with Art & Culture and Natural History curators and interpretive planners to translate scholarly research into accessible and engaging visitor experiences.
Serve as a liaison among curatorial leadership, the project team, and museum management, providing updates and documentation for decision-making.
Support fundraising and engagement with donors and external partners.
Champion community engagement so diverse perspectives shape gallery content and development.
Monitor project progress and alignment with ROM’s institutional priorities and strategic goals.

WHAT YOU BRING

An established record of cultural leadership in a museum or related institutional setting.
An advanced degree in Museum Studies, Art History, Canadian History, or a related field.
At least five years of leadership experience in project management, curatorial practice, exhibition planning, or related museum work.
Experience leading complex, multi-year projects involving multiple stakeholders, budgets, timelines, and deliverables.
Broad knowledge of Canadian history and society and a professional network of diverse cultural leaders and stakeholders.
Strong understanding of museum practice, interpretive planning, and exhibition development.
Exceptional organizational, project management, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
An ability to engage donors, community partners, cultural organizations, and internal stakeholders with curiosity and respect for multiple perspectives.
Strategic thinking, sound judgment, adaptability, and the ability to navigate complex institutional environments.

WHAT WE OFFER

Comprehensive benefits coverage: For permanent and full-time contract positions (conditions apply), enjoy paid benefits for individuals and families, a health spending account, and an Employee Assistance Program.
Worry-free retirement savings: With our optional pension plan, you benefit from an employer-matched Defined Benefit contribution plan, which provides predictable lifetime retirement income, survivor benefits, and early retirement options without the stress of investment decisions.
Perks: Free ROM membership for permanent full-time and part-time staff, plus discounts to over 200 attractions through Attractions Ontario.
And more!
