The Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) is looking for a new Museum Director! An almost entirely volunteer-run museum from 1987, JAMsj is a testament to the passion and dedication of the community of San Jose Japantown to preserving and telling the stories of Japanese Americans and other immigrants. With the museum’s expansion to a spacious, remodeled building in San Jose Japantown in 2010, and the hiring of our first staff member in 2018, we are steadily broadening the scope of our mission as well as extending our reach to new audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With growth comes opportunity, and so we’re looking for a new Museum Director to help lead the charge in furthering JAMsj’s mission. The ideal director will be a person with demonstrated experience growing a small non-profit or museum, securing donations, grants or other funds, and curating museum exhibits. As JAMsj is mostly volunteer-run with a small number of staff, the Director will also need to be flexible and well-versed with the needs of a small organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
