Finca Vigía Foundation, Inc.
Assistant Director
Preserving the Legacy of Ernest Hemingway in Cuba
For the
past 22 years, the Finca Vigía Foundation, a small American
non-profit, has navigated the shoals
of US/Cuban relations to create a bi-national project that is helping to save
one of the most significant monuments of American literature – the legacy of
Ernest Hemingway, at his home Finca Vigía, in Cuba.
Through
architectural preservation, document conservation, and new construction, the
Foundation has built bridges between Cuban and American professionals, won the
support of both governments, and constructed a Restoration Center for Cuban preservationists
with laboratories and a modern climate-controlled archive to house the
significant Hemingway document collection that remains at Finca Vigía.
Our
non-profit currently seeks a US-based assistant director with at least three
years of relevant experience to support this long-standing work and with the
interest, capability and desire to be a
candidate for the position of Executive Director in due course. If you are
detail oriented with exceptional organizational skills, able to work in a
fast-paced and relationship-focused environment, and competent in non-profit
management, we would like to speak with you. We need a pro-active problem
solver who will be able to interact comfortably with a broad range of people,
including board members, funders, government officials in both the United
States and Cuba in a highly regulated working environment, as well as
architects, museum specialists, conservators, and suppliers. Each day is different.
Spanish
is absolutely necessary, as is a valid passport. You must be able to read, write, and speak
Spanish and English proficiently. An
appreciation of Cuban culture and history would be ideal. Familiarity with
QuickBooks is a big plus.
We are
looking for a person who can work effectively with our accountants, and who
also enjoys donor relations, board support, social media management, and
maintenance of the web site. Fund-raising experience is definitely an advantage.
The
successful applicant will work closely with the Foundation’s executive
director. Much of the work of this position may be done remotely, except that
travel may be required for board and other meetings, in addition to travel to
Cuba to support or carry out advance work for technical teams, cultivate
potential donors and to meet with Cuban museum and cultural officials.
The salary
range is $60,000 - $70,000, plus benefits.
Please
send your resume to info@fincafoundation.org and tell us why this unique
opportunity appeals to you. We look
forward to hearing from you.
Application
deadline is June 30, 2024.
