Maritime Aquarium’s mission is to ignite a connection to Long Island Sound and the ocean to enrich the lives of all people and inspire action to protect our blue planet. For 38 years, the Aquarium has played a significant role in shaping the landscape of Norwalk and the region. The second largest family attraction in Connecticut, and 50 miles from New York City, the Aquarium hosts nearly 450,000 guests annually. Its primary exhibits take guests on a voyage from the shallow salt marshes and estuaries to the depths of the Long Island Sound and the ocean beyond, culminating with habitats for sharks and harbor seals. 

Altogether, the Aquarium is home to more than 8,000 animals and 285 species in 75 exhibits. A new 4D Theater offers a unique sensory film experience for guests. Its education programs introduce nearly 50,000 students, campers and scouts to marine and STEM education. The Aquarium is recognized as a top aquarium in the nation and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. It is an active participant in the local and regional community. The strength of the Aquarium is its approximately 97 full-time and 78 part-time employees, seasonal staff, and our volunteers. 

Reporting to the Creative Director, the Associate Director of Exhibits (ADE) is responsible for the design and execution of permanent and temporary exhibits, and the maintenance and management of collections to create engaging and meaningful experiences that inspire guests and support the Aquarium’s mission. This position will work throughout the organization, coordinating closely with the operations and animal husbandry teams, while residing within the Brand Experience function in order to deliver on the organization’s objectives and goals. The ADE is responsible for content research, proposing exhibit narratives, interactives, architectural or 3 dimensional features, and structures messages to resonate with guests.
