He was appointed president and chief executive officer of the Indianapolis Zoo in 2002 and retired in January, 2020.

The Indianapolis Prize is widely regarded as the world's leading award in the field of animal conservation. In 2017, Crowther began working with officials of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) to develop a new resource for adding efficiency and accountability to the SSC's Assess-Plan-Act model of conservation. Crowther's plan for a Global Center for Species Survival, bringing key full-time specialist group coordinators together to manage the SSC's projects, was signed into agreement at the SSC's Annual Leaders Meeting in Abu Dhabi on October 7, 2019, and the Center opened on the Indianapolis Zoo campus in 2021 with startup funding from the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
