Assistant Director

Southern Utah Museum of Art, on the campus of Southern Utah University, features the artwork of regional artists known for their landscapes, faculty and student artists from the SUU Department of Art & Design, as well as emerging and distinguished artists from around the country. Strengths of the nearly 2,000-object permanent collection include the body of work by Jimmie F. Jones that exemplifies his notable career in the region, as well as a robust collection of prints featuring well-known artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Salvador Dal, Katsushika Hokusai, Thomas Hart Benton, and others. Since 2019, a number of gifts and acquisitions have focused on photography such as Brett Weston, Gary Edward Adams, and a portfolio called DE | MARCATION: A Survey of Contemporary Photography in Utah. Named the best-designed museum in Utah by Architectural Digest, SUMA’s building was designed by Brooks + Scarpa and inspired by the region’s famed slot canyons.

Under the direction of the Executive Director, and as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Assistant Director is responsible for the efficient, effective, and productive management of the institution’s facilities and interdepartmental initiatives. This new position will oversee the daily operations as they relate to the following areas: Administration, Visitor Services, Facilities & Rentals, SUMA Events Calendar, and Interns & Volunteers.

The Assistant Director is expected to maintain an appropriately high standard of professionalism directly and through subordinates; and will work collegially and cooperatively with other members of the Senior Leadership Team, permanent staff, student staff, and others.
