Job SUmmary

The Group Tours + Engagement Coordinator is responsible for booking, scheduling, promoting, and selling Group and Private tours of The Glass House to current and emerging audiences. Reporting to the Director of Interpretation + Education (I+E) and working directly with the Manager of I+E, this position manages administrative functions including database records, contracts, accounts receivable, and client communications as they relate to these bookings.

This is a limited part-time role with an hourly rate of $25/hour and an allotment of 15 hours per week.


This position offers flexibility for a hybrid work arrangement but does require a minimum of one day working on-site each week. Therefore, candidates will need to be area residents. 


ABOUT THE GLASS HOUSE 

The Glass House property, built between 1949 and 1995 by architect Philip Johnson, is a National Trust Historic Site in New Canaan, Connecticut. For more than half a century, the Glass House was home to Philip Johnson and his partner, influential curator David Whitney, a place where they hosted many of the most notable architects, artists and designers of their time.


Today, the pastoral 49-acre landscape comprises fourteen structures centered around the iconic Glass House and features a renowned permanent collection of 20th-century art. Since 1986, the entire campus has served as a catalyst for the preservation and interpretation of Modern art and design and a canvas for inspiration and experimentation through leading-edge exhibitions and installations of the highest quality. The site’s tour program, acclaimed Design Store, and on-site and online events provide a variety of opportunities for dynamic engagement. Through new research and programming the Glass House openly explores Philip Johnson and the site’s full history and legacy including connections to the LGBTQ+ experience, Johnsons’ influence on the art world, his forays into fascism and work toward forgiveness. 


The site is owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and is a part of its portfolio of 28 National Trust Historic Sites that are central to the organization’s mission and operations. The Glass House has a full-time staff of ten with approximately 25 seasonal staff. The executive leadership is supported by a dedicated Advisory Council of professionals in the business, architecture, art, design and marketing world.
