Ruchman and Associates, Inc. (RAI) is seeking an Education Program Manager (EPM) to support and oversee educational programs at the National Coast Guard Museum. The EPM coordinates education operations through the Program Manager and the COR.

Responsibilities:
• Implement Government-approved K-12 and adult educational programs and recommend improvements for Government review.
• Oversee the daily delivery of educational sessions led by Educational Program Assistants and volunteers, providing coaching, feedback, and quality control.
• Act as the operational coordinator for incoming school field trips, coordinating schedules, greeting classes, and managing group flow.
• Manage setup, safety, inventory, and use of educational materials within approved funding and supply limits.
• Work with the Volunteer Manager to train docents and volunteers to assist in executing STEM and history programs.
Qualifications:
• A Bachelor's degree (BA/BS) in Education, Museum Studies, Public History, or a STEM discipline is required
• Minimum of 4 to 6 years of progressive experience in museum education, curriculum development, or education program administration.
• Proven ability to interact professionally with school administrators, community groups, and military liaisons.
• Schedule flexibility to oversee educational programs during weekends, school breaks, and special evening events.
• Success in coordinating field trips and educational programs with regional school districts, homeschool networks, and community groups.
• Deep knowledge of curriculum frameworks (such as Next Generation Science Standards [NGSS]) and translating them into hands-on museum lessons.
• Experience supervising and mentoring instructional staff, tracking schedules, and managing educational supplies.
• Experience executing mobile or off-site education initiatives targeting diverse or remote school groups.
