Facilities Manager, Collections Center

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the United States and a thriving cultural center for the Bay Area. We cannot imagine life without art; it inspires and connects us every day. Now more than ever, these connections matter and are aligned with our values.

 

Inclusive: We strive to be a museum of many voices in dialogue.  

 

Passionate: We believe working with art is more than a job or trusteeship - it's a way of life.  

 

Brave: We are committed to approaching our work with courage and a sense of adventure, always ready to explore new perspectives.

 

Empathic: We aim to act like a person, not an institution. 

 

SFMOMA is a place for the infinitely curious to explore, support, and experience the art of our time. We believe that modern and contemporary art can influence the way we think, view the world, and embrace the many voices and perspectives around us. We aspire to foster an environment that elicits joy, nurtures a sense of belonging and purpose—where difference is seen as a strength, and every one is appreciated for their whole self.

Schedule: Full Time, 35 hours/week, fully onsite

 

Reporting to the Director of Facilities and Operations, the Facilities Manager provides day-to-day leadership for facilities services and site readiness at the Collections Center (CC), SFMOMA’s dynamic collections research and storage center. This role partners as a peer with the Operations Manager to ensure the CC runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently for staff, visitors, and vendors.

With a primary focus on facilities activities at the CC, this role coordinates building services and maintenance work; troubleshoots issues; oversees service requests from intake through resolution; and supports project/construction management for capital improvements at the Collections Center. The Facilities Manager serves as a key on-site liaison with the People Team (HR) and IT to support staff needs that intersect with the workplace environment (e.g., onboarding logistics, delivery of workplace meals, workstation moves, access coordination, basic connectivity/peripheral issues routing) and ensures timely communication and follow-up with internal partners and external service providers. At the Collections Center, the Facilities Manager is a vital partner to colleagues in Collections in the long-term care and accessibility of SFMOMA’s collections, as well as loans to the museum, including the Fisher Collection.

The CC Facilities Manager maintains clear documentation, service standards, and responsive support—anticipating needs, reducing downtime, and driving continuous improvement across CC facilities operations.
