Job description

Public Programs Coordinator | Chabot Space & Science Center

The Public Programs Coordinator brings science to life for the people of the East Bay, kids, families, adults, and everyone in between. Reporting to the Director of Museum Programs, this person leads the planning and delivery of the festivals, star parties, performances, and community programs that turn a visit to Chabot into a spark: a moment where science stops being abstract and starts feeling like something you own. This is a job for someone who's just as excited leading a 21+ science night as a family bubble fest weekend, and who wants Oakland to feel like Chabot belongs to them. You'll design and lead public programs from concept through execution, working closely with the Director of Museum Programs and partnering across Education, Visitor Experience, Marketing, Facilities, and Volunteers to pull it off. That means being a proactive communicator and a steady project leader: clarifying roles, keeping people in the loop, and taking accountability for making each program come together well.
