KODE, Bergen Norway is now accepting applications for its Executive Manager position. Please see the announcement below for application instructions.
KODE is Norway’s second largest art museum. It administers one of the most important and largest art collections in the country, as well as the homes of three performing artists: the Edvard Grieg Museum Troldhaugen, the Harald Sæverud Museum Siljustøl, and the Ole Bull Museum Lysøen.
The museum measures itself against the best museums in Europe and seeks to innovate and contribute to the discourses on art and culture.
KODE has an operating budget of approximately 90 million NOK, it employs about 70 people and has about 185,000 visitors annually.
Our present executive director, Erlend G. Høyersten, will become director of ARoS Aarhus Art Museum on 01 January 2014. We therefore seek his successor; an offensive, innovative, strategically strong and result-oriented leader who will continue to lead KODE’s development.
The executive director has full artistic, administrative, economic and personnel-related responsibilities. KODE’s mission statement emphasizes the organization’s role as a leading cultural actor, and its ability to influence the way in which society develops. As an enculturative institution, our responsibility is to give insight to the public, and to stimulate the public to reflect when encountering art and music.

We seek a person who:
• has relevant higher education in the field of art, plus leadership experience from Norway and/or internationally

• has good, documented abilities for collaboration, plus the ability to inspire and motivate others

• has a wide national – preferably also international – network within the professional fields of our museums
• has experience in collaborating with public authorities
• is comfortable with being a proactive, visible representative for the museum vis-à-vis its collaborative partners, the media and the public.
