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.
