The office also provides secretariat to the Museum’s senior leadership team and the Museum’s Chair and Board of Trustees.

We are seeking a highly organised & strategic individual to join the Director’s Office in an exciting new role.

• Logging, triaging and actioning the Director’s incoming correspondence, and advising on outgoing correspondence.
• Ensuring that engagements with key stakeholders, including government ministers, major donors and supports, are supportive of the Museum’s objectives and priorities.
• Supporting colleagues to research and draft high-impact remarks, ensuring a joined-up approach.

What you’ll bring to the team:

You will have proven experience in diary management, executive support, or stakeholder coordination in a high-pressure environment. Exceptionally organised, you will have a meticulous attention to detail and an ability to think ahead.

Possessing excellent written and verbal communication skills, you will use tact and judgement to interact with a wide range of stakeholders and apply a diplomatic and proactive approach to navigating competing priorities and making informed decisions.

If you have a genuine interest in museums, culture, or the arts, and a commitment to supporting our mission at a national and international level, we warmly welcome your application.
