Company Name : SS United States Conservancy
Location : Philadelphia, PA 19106
Position : Administrative & Program Associate

Job Description : Who we are: The SS United States Conservancy, a national nonprofit organization founded in 2004, is dedicated to protecting, revitalizing, and promoting the historic ocean liner SS United States, the largest passenger ship ever built in America and current holder of the transatlantic speed record. “America’s Flagship” transported four U.S. presidents, business moguls, movie stars, tourists, artists and authors, and immigrants, and the vessel is one of the sole surviving iconic ocean liners from the golden age of trans-Atlantic travel.
The SS United States Conservancy purchased the SS United States in February of 2011 and is currently working to secure her future as a mixed-use, stationary development which will include a SS United States museum and innovation center. As these plans advance, the Conservancy is building its permanent collection of archives, art, and artifacts from the SS United States and developing digital and temporary exhibitions. Our dedicated staff continues to explore how to best preserve, celebrate, and disseminate the range of items in the Conservancy’s collections through social media platforms, earned media, and partnerships with museums, institutions, and other organizations.
Guided by a prominent board of directors and advisory council, the Conservancy currently has a small team based in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and New York. The organization has members hailing from all 50 states and 22 nations worldwide.
