The Full-time Box Office Systems Coordinator (BOSC) plays a vital role in the overall success of the visitor experience at MASS MoCA, providing a foundation for our visitor’s experience in a welcoming, enthusiastic, and engaging way. The BOSC is a critical part of the Visitor Experience team, acting as both a front-facing customer service coordinator, as well as a product specialist who evaluates, implements and models best practices in the use of Tessitura, our CRM system.
