Position Summary:

The African American History Programming Specialist is a creative, detail-oriented, passionate, and inspiring professional who focuses on developing and facilitating dynamic public programming for the African American History Initiative (AAHI). AAHI strives to share and promote stories that explore various aspects of the Black experience throughout this region. In addition to the core values of the Missouri Historical Society (MHS), this initiative supports the collection of artifacts, stories, and other materials concerning historically underrepresented communities; the development of future museum professionals; and the preservation and sharing of Black resources and history in the greater St. Louis area.

The African American History Programming Specialist is responsible for creating programming that examines the complexities of our region’s history and draws connections to today’s relevant societal issues. On average, the programming specialist is responsible for project managing 1-2 programs each month, from start to finish. The programming specialist collaborates with local organizations and individuals as well as other colleagues at MHS to create unique events that range in size and type to reach and engage diverse audiences.

The African American History Programming Specialist reports to the Director of Education and Community Engagement, who oversees and manages signature events, public programming, K-12 education, and early childhood and family programs. The Programming Specialist works alongside these teams to ensure African American history is included in meaningful ways throughout MHS’s program lineup.

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement an average of one to two AAHI programs each month. Collaborate with key community organizations and other MHS staff to develop programs that draw strong connections to local history and reflect current issues facing the region.
  • Collaborate within the Education & Community Engagement department, offering input on the team’s full slate of programs and supporting fellow team members to build a diverse set of program offerings that appeal to various audiences.
  • Follow appropriate procedures, communicate with other departments, and meet deadlines for program logistics.
  • Adhere to and track AAHI programming budget and follow appropriate procedures and deadlines for paying contractors.
  • Acquire and maintain a working knowledge of MHS programs, exhibitions, and collections.
  • Work with the AAHI team to support internal MHS communications, the external AAHI advisory committee, community outreach, and other projects as appropriate.
  • Attend and contribute to regular update meetings with supervisor, AAHI team, Education and Community Engagement department, Public History division, and all-staff meetings.
  • Serve on internal teams for exhibits, initiatives, and community advisory groups as time allows.
  • Attend and actively participate in educational and professional training as scheduled.

Skills and Abilities:

  • Demonstrated ability to develop productive and respectful relationships with community leaders and groups.
  • Knowledge of current and emerging issues, preferably familiar with issues impacting the St. Louis region.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Exceptional attention to details, ability to balance multiple projects concurrently, and effectively meet deadlines.
  • Ability to work as a member of a team to achieve department and museum-wide strategic goals.
  • Flexibility to work evening and weekend hours is required, 4-6 times per month.
  • A passion for supporting community building and an understanding of how history and museum programming can serve that goal.
  • Ability to effectively communicate with individuals and organizations from diverse communities and backgrounds.

Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree, preferably in history, social studies, American studies, urban studies, museum studies, or a related field strongly preferred, or relevant work experience.
  • Minimum 2-4 years project management experience, preferably in museums or cultural nonprofits, with an emphasis on event planning.
  • Experience collaborating with community groups to develop programs around their shared histories is preferred.
