Director of Experience Design

Description

The Franklin Institute is experiencing revitalization with a focus on the family audience and the development of a more fully integrated visitor experience.

We seek an accomplished individual with a track record of demonstrated execution of creativity and project development processes while managing large exhibit projects from development through fabrication. This person must demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of what appeals to people of various ages and from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds in the design of exhibit and interactive experiences.

Working closely with the Vice President, Exhibit and Program Development, the Director of Experience Design will develop interactive and compelling exhibits, incorporating the many strategies now being tested in the museum, entertainment, and educational industries. Responsibilities include conceptualization and design of new exhibitions, managing a budget, and management of a staff that includes exhibit designers as well as a large number of outside vendors, consultants and sub-contracts. The demonstrated ability to create and manage project teams in a large, complex organization is imperative.
