Job Description

Lake Champlain Maritime Museum is looking for additional staff in our Admissions and Museum Store. The Store Associate is the first person to greet each visitor as they arrive to the Museum and ensure they feel welcome. This position is responsible for greeting and checking in visitors, providing general information about the Museum and its exhibits, completing purchases from the Museum Store, and organizing and restocking inventory.

At Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, we are committed to using our skills as historians, archaeologists, and educators to help make systemic change in our work and in the museum field. As part of this, we have spent the past two years working to remove barriers to access and pursuing new research projects that shine a light on untold stories of women and people of color in the Champlain Valley.
