Team Supervision & Project Management
Provide direct supervision to a Donor Relations Manager and a Graphic Designer, Development, with full accountability for both roles' performance, priorities, workflows, and professional growth.
Deliver structured performance management, regular feedback, and coaching to support both direct reports in meeting expectations and developing professionally.
Manage project prioritization with the Graphic Designer, Development, ensuring that project assignments and workload are appropriately optimized/managed to meet departmental needs. The Graphic Designer role maintains a dotted-line relationship with the Director of Graphic Design and Brand Creative for technical design oversight and mentorship. The Senior Manager coordinates regularly with the Director of Graphic Design and Brand Creative to maintain open communication and shared awareness of priorities and ongoing work.
Review and quality-assure donor-facing materials and other outputs produced by the team.
Cross-Divisional Collaboration
Collaborate with non-Development Editorial staff to align on tone, voice, messaging, and cadence for Development content and communications
Foster collaboration with internal teams, including Communications, Marketing, Curatorial, and Learning and Social Impact, to ensure coordination on messaging and outreach for key Museum initiatives.
Engage with senior institutional stakeholders, including the Museum Director, curators, Deputy Director for Art, Director of Public Relations, and Chief Marketing Officer, to gather context that ensures fundraising copy accurately reflects institutional priorities and programmatic work.
Qualifications
5+ years of direct experience in fundraising communications, development, grant writing, or donor relations, preferably within a cultural institution or nonprofit organization.
3+ years of direct supervisory experience, including managing staff performance, providing structured coaching, and overseeing team workflows in a fast-paced environment.
Significant experience in donor stewardship and donor relations, with a clear understanding of best practices in building and maintaining donor relationships.
Excellent writing and copy generation skills, with demonstrated ability to produce compelling content for a range of donor audiences. Strong project and/or editorial management expertise, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workflows, set priorities, and meet deadlines.
Demonstrated ability to build and manage systems, calendars, and tracking tools that improve team efficiency and communications coordination.
Proven ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing up effectively while independently driving their own workload and team priorities.
Knowledge of and commitment to the Brooklyn Museum’s mission, history, and programs, and a strong affinity with Brooklyn.
