Director, Community Programs

The Role

As the Director of Community Programs, you will steer the strategy for how one of the world's premier science institutions engages with its local community. You will oversee a diverse portfolio including high school internships, volunteer initiatives, and environmental justice programming. This isn't just traditional museum management; it's a mission-driven leadership post focused on using modern technology to foster climate literacy and science agency among San Francisco's diverse populations.

Vibe Coding & Tech Innovation

The Academy is leaning into the future by seeking a leader who can integrate generative AI into the fabric of informal education. You will be expected to use tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Lovable to build and iterate on educational frameworks and digital experiences. By applying vibe coding principles—writing code and creating content through natural language—you will help the institution move faster, turning complex scientific data into accessible, interactive learning tools.

Impact and Growth

Joining the Academy Leadership Team offers a seat at the table for high-level decision-making. You will have the opportunity to redefine how AI-assisted development and presentation tools like Gamma and Figma can transform non-profit operations. This role is perfect for a tech-savvy visionary who wants to use their AI skills to mentor staff and regenerate the natural world while working in a hybrid environment in the heart of Golden Gate Park.
