Executive Director

Located on Main Street in downtown Pendleton, CMEO is a vital non-profit play space dedicated to providing educational exhibits and activities for children and their families. Our hands-on exhibits foster imagination and real-world learning, complemented by a focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM).

We are seeking an enthusiastic Director to lead CMEO into its next phase of growth and impact. As the Director, you will oversee all aspects of museum operations, from financial management and fundraising to exhibit design and community engagement. This role is perfect for a dynamic leader passionate about children’s education and dedicated to fostering a love of learning through interactive play. This is a unique opportunity to use your skills, creativity and passion to support and grow a cherished community nonprofit.

Much of this job is performed during regular business hours; however, there are tasks that can only be completed when the Museum is closed.
