Director

Closing date: 28 July 2020.

The Kunsthaus Zurich is one of the most distinguished museums in Europe. With the opening of the extension by David Chipperfield in 2021, the Kunsthaus will become the largest art institution in Switzerland, strengthening Zurich as an attractive place among the great capitals of the world. The highly dynamic Kunsthaus will also become a vibrant public space, fostering a culture of dialogue and is now looking for a new Director to take the organisation forward. If you are a charismatic person with excellent leadership skills and a proven international track record in leading inspiring art programs, we look forward to hearing from you. You understand classical modernism and more generally art from the 19th to the 21st centuries, actively endorse contemporary art, are financially literate and enthusiastic to establish the Kunsthaus as a hub of creative engagement. German and English are prerequisites as well as experience in fundraising and excellent communication skills.
