Safety Manager - Washington D.C. - National Geographic
Description
How You'll ContributeThe National Geographic Society headquarters, based in Washington, D.C., is undergoing a significant renovation project on its campus (called Base Camp). In 2026, we are opening the Museum of Exploration, featuring a state-of-the-art pavilion entrance, auditorium, iconic photo gallery, exhibition space, immersive walk-through attraction, retail, food and beverage, education center, archives, tours, and exciting new event space. The capstone of the renovation is a one-of-a-kind nighttime experience in the courtyard.
Job Profile Summary
The Safety Manager serves as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for workplace safety and health, acting as a key partner to the Senior Director of Security. This role is responsible for the operational execution of the Society's safety strategy across a complex campus, including a high-traffic museum, a state-of-the-art auditorium, and live event spaces.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a high degree of ownership over safety processes, moving beyond task execution to lead the implementation of safety programs with minimal day-to-day guidance.

We are seeking a team member who values interoperability and is ready to jump in and support colleagues across different projects when needed. At the Museum of Exploration, we believe that our greatest successes come from shared expertise and a willingness to step outside of a single role. This isn't just a part of the job; it's a core aspect of how we operate and collaborate, reflecting the spirit of partnership that defines National Geographic's culture.
