The Henry Moore Foundation was founded by the artist in 1977 to encourage public appreciation of the visual arts and is the largest artist‑endowed grant‑giving foundation in Europe. We hold the principal collection of artworks by Moore, some 20,000 objects, including monumental bronzes, carvings, works on paper and tapestries. Works from the collection are displayed at the artist’s home in the tranquil hamlet of Perry Green as well as touring in national and international exhibitions.
The Role

You’ll be comfortable working collaboratively across diverse teams, building strong relationships to ensure consistency and accuracy in how digital materials are presented and maintained.
