The Phoenix Zoo is seeking a Collection Manager for our Children’s Zoo and Harmony Farm. This is a position in the Living Collections Department of The Phoenix Zoo overseeing the Collections Management of the Children’s Zoo and Harmony Farm Complex.
The Phoenix Zoo’s Children’s Zoo—Harmony Farm Complex is a dynamic, programs oriented area of the Zoo. Managing the mix between domestic animal species and unique, highly specialized exotic animal species is challenging and rewarding, requiring an energetic motivated leader capable of developing, and implementing diverse programs and guest experiences. The successful candidate will also possess strong management skills and an understanding of natural histories and husbandry of both domestic animal species and exotic species, and be able to propagate a value added environment for professional animal keepers, volunteers, and community groups such as 4H, as well as county and state organizations.
Coordinating community outreach and Zoo based community interactions is a large portion of this position. As a result the position will require skill at developing collaborative inter-departmental associations and establishing and maintaining contacts with community businesses and organizations such as Arizona Milk Producers, United Dairymen of Arizona, and the Arizona Farm Bureau, who may be interested in sponsoring or supporting farm based education programs, messaging, or guest experiences.
