3 days per week | salary: £19,200 (FTE: £32,000 p.a.)

About the role

Soane intended the Museum to be an ‘academy’ of architecture, sculpture and painting.  Today, we maintain this vision through an inspiring, diverse and high-impact programme of exhibitions, events and collaborations. The programme embraces both historic and contemporary inquiry and debate about architecture, art and design to appeal to a broad online audience and a targeted physical audience.

Reporting to the Head of Exhibitions, the Public Programmes Manager is responsible for a range of events and activities which attract new audiences and encourage audiences to engage deeply with the Museum and its themes. These include events relating to exhibitions and collections and talks featuring leading artists, designers and architects. The post-holder will be joining the Museum at an exciting time as we reimagine the public programme under a new Director.   

The Public Programmes Manager is responsible for the delivery of the programme including planning, budget management, on-the-day event management and evaluation.
