About this role

Are you an inspiring leader with a passion for conservation and collection care?

Do you thrive on bringing people together, leading complex projects and driving positive change?

If so then join us and be part of something extraordinary as we shape the future of our collection

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a dynamic, multidisciplinary team at a pivotal moment at London Museum as we bring our ambitious plans for a new museum site at West Smithfield to life. You will support our collection move from London Wall, lead collection care delivery of our new galleries at West Smithfield and take the strategic lead in the care of the collection across our estate.

Applications are by application form via our recruitment system. The closing date for applications is Sunday 15 November 2026. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview on Monday 30 November 2026.

If you are successfully shortlisted you will be invited to an interview where you will be asked questions to help us understand more about what you share in your application, and in particular to understand how you meet the essential person specification criteria for the role and demonstrate our museum behaviours. You will also be asked to complete a short task as part of the section process.

London Museum is committed to being an equitable and inclusive employer, and to becoming representative of the diversity of London. We particularly welcome applications from people from Global Majority backgrounds, who are currently under-represented in our organisation.

We also welcome applications from disabled people, as we’re a Disability Confident Leader and are committed to recruiting, retaining and developing disabled people.
