About the job

Focus on funding projects, cooperations and events

The Kirchner Museum Davos is one of the most important monographic museums in Switzerland. At its centre is the work of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, which we bring into a lively dialogue with classical modernism and contemporary art. With a diverse programme of exhibitions, mediation and events, we see ourselves as an open museum and a place of art, exchange and encounter.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a committed individual for the area of third-party funding, cooperations and events (50–80%) from 1 October 2026 or by arrangement.

• Close cooperation with management, exhibition team, art mediation, visitor services as well as PR and marketing

• Training and/or professional experience in the cultural, event, communication, tourism or fundraising sector

What we offer

You can expect a varied activity with insight into different areas of an internationally oriented museum.
