Founded in 1825, the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History
has always worked to understand the past and encourage historic
inquiry. Through permanent and groundbreaking temporary exhibitions
such as Common Struggle, Individual Experience, An Exhibition
about Mental Health, the Connecticut Museum has always worked
to ensure that Connecticut residents feel connected not only to the
history and culture of Connecticut but, through a shared
understanding of history, with each other. The public programming
of the Connecticut Museum serves school groups, families, teachers,
curious life-long learning adults, researchers, and the State of
Connecticut. The Connecticut Museum is the only state historical
organization that offers a folklife program. The Cultural
Sustainability program ensures the collection is an inclusive and
true representation of the diversity of the state. The adoption of
the state folklife program in 2015 resulted in bringing more than
60,000 objects, mostly photographic and video content, of the
diverse cultural groups that are in Connecticut.

 

The Connecticut Museum of Culture and History is at an exciting
moment in its history. As the organization prepares for its 200th
Anniversary in 2025, the Connecticut Museum is committed to a
five-year strategic plan to enhance its impact by elevating work
with diverse communities across the state to develop engaging
programs, events, and exhibitions. The Connecticut Museum is in
discussions with the State of Connecticut regarding a potential
public-private capital project which is currently in its early
stages of conception. In parallel, the Connecticut Museum has
completed an institutional rebrand which launched to the public in
the second quarter of 2023.

 

The Connecticut Museum seeks a passionate, strategic, tactical,
and agile Chief Financial Officer (CFO) with expertise in finance,
accounting, operations, facilities, and information technology. The
CFO will lead and oversee business and financial management,
including bookkeeping (general ledger, accounts receivable and
payable, reconciliations), reporting, payroll, contract
administration, banking, and investment portfolio management. The
ideal candidate will have a demonstrated track record of fund and
endowment accounting.
