The posting

The Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) seeks an exceptional writer and skilled editor to join our team as the Communications Editorial Manager.

Part of a two-person Communications unit nested within the collaborative Curatorial Engagement and Communications division, this role serves as the primary voice for the museum, ensuring that all external written and visual content, including press releases, exhibition texts, scholarly catalogs, digital long-form features, and social media, is cohesive, accessible, and aligned with our mission.

As WCMA transitions to a dynamic new facility, the Editorial Manager will play a vital role in crafting and communicating the narrative of the museum’s future to local, national, and international audiences and media.

Responsibilities:

  • Content Creation & Editorial Leadership: Serve as the museum’s primary writer and Editor-in-Chief. Establish and maintain an institutional style guide to ensure a cohesive, inclusive, and sophisticated "WCMA voice" across all platforms. Provide developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading for public-facing content, press releases, digital media, and institutional messaging.
  • In-Gallery & Scholarly Editorial Direction: Partner with curators and content creators to shepherd exhibition wall panels, object labels, in-gallery print materials, and scholarly publications through the editorial process, ensuring texts maintain scholarly integrity while remaining engaging and accessible to diverse audiences.
  • Strategic Communications & Media Relations: Collaborate with the Communications Production Manager and museum leadership to develop and execute integrated communications strategies. Serve as a key liaison to national media and art critics, crafting press pitches, coordinating interviews, and communicating story priorities for WCMA’s programs and new building.
  • Teamwork & Operations: Work with Communications Production Manager to establish editorial timelines; co-manage the annual Communications budget and external PR/vendor contracts; supervise and mentor student interns; and support public programs and museum events as needed.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 5 years relevant experience with professional writing and developmental editing (preferably in a museum or equivalent arts organization), or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex editorial projects from conception through completion.
  • Superior writing, developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading skills, with a strong design sensibility and the ability to adapt messaging for varied audiences.
  • Outstanding interpersonal, project management, and collaborative skills across cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated experience in communications and/or editorial leadership within an arts organization.
  • Professional experience telling compelling stories using digital platforms and media assets, with an innovative approach to information delivery.
  • Ability to track, analyze, and assess the effectiveness of institutional communication efforts.

Work Arrangement:

This position is expected to be fully on-site and in person at the Williams College campus/WCMA in Williamstown, MA. This is a full-time, year-round, benefited position that involves a significant amount of on-site presence in order to fully collaborate with the Communications Production Manager, museum leadership, media, actively participate in the activities of the public-facing museum, and engage with the college community.

Application review will begin on October 15, 2026. Pay range is from $80,000 to $90,000, commensurate with experience.

A cover letter is required in order for your application to be considered. In your letter, please address your interest in this particular position and highlight relevant experience in editorial management, strategic communications, and writing within an arts/cultural context. Please attach your cover letter as a separate document in your application.
