About the role

The Mariners' Museum and Park seeks an Associate Collections Manager for a 3-year NEH Rediscovering Our Revolutionary Tradition grant. You will enhance records for Yorktown-related archaeological objects across TMMP and the Virginia DHR, supporting access to primary sources and assisting with stewardship of the combined collections. This full-time, salary-exempt role offers competitive benefits including health insurance, paid leave, and a 403b match.

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.
