Description

About the role:

National Museums Scotland is one of the leading museum groups in Europe.

With one of the largest and most diverse collections in the world, they are responsible for the acquisition, preservation and display of a substantial part of Scotland's cultural, historic and national heritage.

Millions of local and international visitors enjoy their four museums each year, and they also introduce their collections to a much wider audience than can physically visit their museums through, touring exhibitions, loans, community engagement, digital programmes and research.

Over the last decade, they have invested over £120 million in their sites and have more than doubled their visitor numbers, with over 3 million people now visiting their four museums.

Alongside this, they have continued to transform how they communicate and engage with their audiences.

2019 has seen the completion of their Masterplan for the National Museum of Scotland with the opening of three new galleries dedicated to Ancient Egypt, East Asia and the Art of Ceramics.

Enthusiastic about museums and collections and with a good knowledge and experience of project management, you will have proven experience of partnership working and understand the policies, standards and ambitions surrounding museum sector projects delivery.

You'll ideally have experience of working with external funders and be able to demonstrate the confidence and skills to lead discussions, draft project plans, inform new funding bids and support effective collaborative working with our partners.
