About the role

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond invites applications for the Margaret H. and William E. Massey Senior Conservator of Paintings. The role leads painting conservation, directing examination, treatment planning, and preventive care for the collection and on loan works. You will collaborate with curators and colleagues, supervise staff, manage priorities and budgets, and engage in public programs and fundraising as needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
