Overview

Are you interested in leading the team responsible for helping Getty unify the digital experience for our visitors? We are looking for a talented manager and domain expert who is passionate about how digital solutions can help people have a world-class experience before, during and after every visit to Getty—both in person and online.

This individual will be responsible for managing the team of five that provides application management, training, strategy, and data analytics for key systems related to the way Getty interacts with our visitors. These include our web content management system, calendaring & ticketing system, point of sale, email marketing, fundraising, and audio guide.

This will be the first hire into this new position within a new Digital Visitor Experience department, and will be a critical role as we begin the work of integrating audience-facing systems together and building the capacity to understand and support a holistic visitor experience for Getty. The team will work closely with the product, engineering, and UX team for our website; with our advancement office, communications, visitor services; the event team; the Getty Museum Store, and with the many staff across Getty who manage content.

Our ideal candidate is an empathetic manager of people, capable of aligning, motivating, and unifying a diverse team with years of experience in individual applications. They would have experience managing vendor relationships, setting up training and support policies and practices, enabling adoption to ensure digital solutions support audience-facing departments, and building trusting relationships with end users. They would also understand how data, analytics, and reporting can support the user journey of our visitors and inform strategy for our organization. The ideal candidate has experience with best-in-class customer relationship management (CRM) and has led or participated in projects to gather requirements, design and implement a digital ecosystem, model data, and create metrics and reports that address internal user needs and move the organization toward its goals.

At Getty Digital, we are re-imagining how we can use digital solutions to provide access to our campus, collections, and scholarship. We intend to provide a deeply connected, consistent experience for visitors, researchers, and scholars as they explore the extraordinary array of opportunities that Getty offers—and to share what we learn in doing so with our peers in the Cultural Heritage field. We believe that the best digital solutions are built by teams with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and ideas, and we strive to provide a collaborative environment where all team members have the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to what we create and the achievement of Getty’s vision.

Getty exists to inspire human connections and mutual understanding through art. With this in mind, Getty’s leadership team has expanded its focus on improving all aspects of the visitor experience, leading to meaningful lifelong relationships between Getty and the communities it serves. A seamless and delightful visitor experience will need to be underpinned by a digital ecosystem that reflects and amplifies the experiences we want our visitors to have. Under the direction of the Digital Visitor Experience Director and in close partnership with the Digital Visitor Experience team and organization-wide stakeholders, the Manager will lead the growth and optimization of all applications within this digital ecosystem. The manager will work on an amazing campus amongst fabulous art, architecture, and archives, collaborating with world-class scientists, curators, librarians, archivists, and academics. We offer 4 weeks of vacation a year, every other Friday off, excellent benefits, and a strong commitment to balancing work and personal life. This is a hybrid work environment opportunity.
