About the Museum

Five Oaks Museum is an independent non-profit located on the Portland Community College - Rock Creek Campus on Tualatin Kalapuya land in Washington County, Oregon. As a local organization engaged in globally-relevant dialogues, we support the thriving cultural ecologies around us through guest curated exhibitions, learning programs, events, research, and the museum’s cultural resources, archives and library. After 65 years of centering Euro-American settler narratives, the institution was fundamentally reshaped in 2019 and now operates as a platform for multi-vocal, culturally embedded stories and as a sandbox for innovative organizational structures, all shaped around the core values of Body, Land, Truth, Justice, and Community.

Position Summary

The Development and Communications Manager (DCM) is a new position and will be a core member of the collaborative Five Oaks Museum team and help shape the museum’s journey. The DCM position bridges and integrates the work of development and donor engagement with written and visual external-facing communications. This will be situated within our ongoing efforts to integrate decolonial frameworks and a justice lens to all areas of our work. The position requires a passion for persuasive storytelling, skill in creating and nurturing relationships, a deep connection to the museum’s five values, and the ability to keep the holistic needs of the organization in mind while also attending to details. While the two main elements of this role will overlap, we envision that the DCM will focus approximately 60% of their attention to development and 40% of their attention to communications. Ultimately, the DCM is responsible for raising funds from a wide range of sources and communicating the unique, powerful work of Five Oaks Museum to our community.
