Program Manager

The Program Manager (PM) advances the Seacoast Science Center’s (SSC)
mission to spark curiosity, enhance understanding and inspire conservation
of our Blue Planet by ensuring excellence in content development, delivery
and evaluation of the Center’s school and visitor education programs. The PM
ensures that programs align with Center mission and vision, that impacts
and outcomes are maximized through regular market and audience analysis,
and that current formal and informal marine science education trends,
articles and best practices are monitored, accessible, and nurtured amongst
SSC education team’s community of practice.

Position Description

The Program Manager provides a comprehensive management framework for SSC
educational programs. This includes visitor programs, school/group/outreach
programs, preschool and family programs, and community learning events.
Responsibilities include curriculum development, program delivery,
evaluation, naturalist support, and professional networking and presenting.
The Program Manager ensures that programs meet the  learning goals and
challenges of the Center’s different audiences and program participants
(students, teachers, families, visitors, early learners, teens, community
members) to consistently achieve a high standard of excellence. The PM is
required to have a depth and breadth of formal and informal education
experience so that they may develop content that reflects SSC's varied
coastal habitats, exhibits, aquaria, and the needs of SSC's target audiences.

New Hampshire 21st Century Science Standards, Next Generation Science
Standards and three dimensional science learning is desired.

The Program Manager must develop and support a team of naturalists and

evaluate curriculum, support naturalists with provision of quality
resources and training, evaluate program delivery, and ensure continuous
process improvement by working with our various education stakeholders
(teachers, visitors, families, community members) on formative and
summative program evaluation. The PM must also facilitate implementation of
school, visitor, and community education programs by supervising program
staff and providing the vision and pathway for their success. The Program
Manager will work with the SSC marketing team to regularly assess program
penetration, gaps and opportunities. An external focus on
relationship-building with classroom teachers, content experts, scientists,
and collaboration within SSC’s strategic networks is essential.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have demonstrated success in science-based
informal education, a strong background in marine or environmental science,
a passion for conservation and SSC’s mission, and strong communication and
leadership skills. Excellent engagement and interpersonal skills are
required to effectively interact with our program participants, staff,
volunteers, and professional networks. Strong writing and professional
presentation/public speaking skills desired. The Program Manager must have
the ability to work with all ages, diverse audiences, and in a wide range
of indoor and outdoor settings. This role requires experience in curriculum
development, staff training, teacher workshop facilitation/planning,
evaluation, and program delivery. Demonstrated supervisory and leadership
experience and the ability to nurture, strengthen and support a team is
required for this position. Basic knowledge of local coastal habitats,
