From the description:

The incumbent will also engage in fundraising: cultivating, soliciting gifts from, and stewarding major donors/prospects. In addition, the incumbent will manage finances and personnel: overseeing the daily operations of the museum, including staff hiring and supervision, guest management, budget planning, and expenditures, overseeing the development of exhibits and collections, and supervising the development and delivery of educational programming related to natural resources for public enrichment and engagement. Initially, the incumbent's effort will be heavily weighted toward tasks related to vision, strategy, and fundraising.
