Job Description:\n\nDescription: THE BROAD The Broad was established to make contemporary art accessible to the widest possible audience. Founded in 2015 on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, the museum offers free general admission and presents an active Program of special exhibitions and innovative live events, all within a landmark building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Welcoming around 900,000 visitors per year, The Broad is a bustling public space and serves as home to the Broad collection, one of the world’s leading collections of postwar and contemporary art, which continues to grow as new artists and artworks are added. The museum is also the headquarters of The Broad Art Foundation’s worldwide lending library, which has been loaning collection works to museums around the world since 1984. An expansion of the museum will open before the 2028 summer Olympics in Los Angeles, creating even greater public access. ABOUT THE POSITION The Broad seeks a marketing leader to launch its next era and carry it forward: a 2028 expansion that doubles down on our commitment to attract a large audience, grows our public gallery space by 70%, opens entirely new ways to experience the collection, and demands bold strategies to attract visitors from across Los Angeles and beyond. The Director of Marketing & Audience Development will lead the museum's efforts to grow, deepen, and sustain its large and diverse audience, bringing imagination, joy, fresh ideas and care for every stage of the visitor journey from first awareness through lasting loyalty. Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, the Director of Marketing & Audience Development will be responsible for meeting ambitious attendance and revenue targets and will be the museum's lead architect of audience growth: someone who understands how The Broad stands apart from other arts institutions, and who thinks in terms of relationships and lifecycle, not just campaigns. They will bring deep audience insights, the courage to pilot new ideas, and an ability to convert curiosity into commitment. They will find innovative means to cultivate the kind of deep connection that brings people back — to exhibitions, programs, and The Broad's expanding role in the cultural life of the city. In short, an astute professional who knows how to build upon The Broad’s globally-recognized visitor-centric profile. The Broad has always appealed to audiences who don't necessarily see themselves as traditional museumgoers, and the Director of Marketing & Audience Development will lean into that, seeking unexpected channels, partnerships, and moments to help people feel the museum’s relevance and place in contemporary culture. They will resist the formulaic and bring fresh thinking to every challenge, from how The Broad introduces itself to someone who has never visited, to how it deepens its relationship with someone who has visited a hundred times. The Director of Marketing & Audience Development is the museum's brand authority, responsible for The Broad's visual identity, voice, and consistency across all paid and owned touchpoints. They will own relationships with the design, media buying, and web agencies, and will lead a team of two direct reports: Marketing Manager and Social Media Manager. The Director of Marketing & Audience Development will be responsible for driving measurable audience growth, increasing attendance, and building long-term visitor engagement. This role will work with the CSO to foster a culture of openness, nimbleness, and curiosity across the team and the organization. HOW THIS ROLE WORKS WITH COMMUNICATIONS The Director of Marketing & Audience Development and the Director of Communications & Community Engagement are close partners whose work is complementary and distinct. Marketing owns The Broad's paid and owned channels, brand authority, and audience development strategy. Communications owns earned media and leads all external relationships with community organizations, civic partners, media, and neighborhood stakeholders. Both Directors share responsibility for identifying the stories The Broad should tell. Communications determines how to earn coverage and activate community relationships around them, while Marketing determines how to amplify The Broad’s stories through campaigns, digital channels, and brand expression. The two Directors collaborate closely on timing and integrated moments, aligning at the outset of key initiatives and maintaining ongoing visibility into each other’s work to ensure consistency across external communications. Marketing holds brand authority and sets the standards that guide both functions.

When engaging community and civic partners, work in close coordination with the Director of Communications & Community Engagement, who is responsible for maintaining these relationships. Visitor Lifecycle & LoyaltyOwn the full visitor lifecycle, from first discovery through acquisition, conversion, repeat visitation, and long-term loyalty, developing distinct strategies for each stage rather than treating all visitors as a single undifferentiated audience.Build and manage lifecycle marketing programs: triggered email journeys, re-engagement campaigns, and personalized communications that meet visitors where they are and speak to their specific relationship with the museum.Develop a framework for visitor loyalty that rewards and deepens engagement over time, with repeat visitation rate as the defining measure of success.

Ensure content is culturally attuned, offers real value whether through humor, intellect, or insight, and earns attention rather than just buying it. Coordinate the social media calendar and approach with the Director of Communications & Community Engagement to ensure alignment around major announcements and institutional moments. Audience Insights & ResearchPartner with Visitor Experience, Operations, and IT teams to build robust systems for tracking audience behavior across the full lifecycle — attendance, conversion rates, repeat visitation, satisfaction, and engagement.Oversee the collection and interpretation of audience research, including visitor surveys, focus groups, and hired audience research professionals.Use data from Salesforce, Klayvio, Ticketure, and other platforms to make informed decisions about resource allocation, channel mix, and messaging, and to identify where audience development efforts are falling short.Report regularly to leadership with clear, actionable insights about audience growth, loyalty trends, and the effectiveness of marketing investment, with an eye toward fresh ideas to pilot.Bring analytical rigor and strategic maturity to the marketing function, not as a substitute for creativity, but as its complement.
