Your collective goal will be to ensure that key divisional priorities are met and that multiple voices are represented in the sharing of the stories arising from the programming at these sites.

Reporting to the Director, Museums & Heritage Services, you’ll plan annual work programs, and develop revenue-generating programs (grants, sponsorship, fees), overseeing and monitoring the annual budget for the Unit, and ensuring that all expenditures are controlled and maintained within approved budget limitations. You'll ensure that the Unit's program objectives are met by providing leadership and oversight to Todmorden Mills Museum and Art Centre, Spadina Museum Historic House and Gardens, Mackenzie House, Colborne Lodge, Gibson House Museum, Zion Schoolhouse, Montgomery's Inn, and Scarborough Historical Museum historic sites.

We'll also rely on you to ensure that the museums operate in accordance with nationally and internationally accredited museum standards and practices.

Your written and verbal communication skills are excellent, enabling you to prepare briefing notes, reports, and business cases, as required by the size and complexity of the program/project, for reporting, and budget approvals. You're equally equipped to represent the City on major cultural projects of national and international scope involving other government partners and the cultural sector and ensure that it is aware of activities and trends in other jurisdictions and is contributing to national and international cultural development. Continually looking to the future, you’ll also ensure currency with City and divisional priorities and objectives, as well as relevant business practice directions, and assess new legislation for its business, financial, human resource, and information technology impact on the Division and/or the City.
