About us
The five museums of the Science Museum Group (SMG) are a key national resource. With our extensive collection in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine, we are uniquely placed to draw people of all ages to engage with science in an inspirational and informal way.
Our collections contain the objects that have made science such a powerful element in modern culture – particularly relevant to the current landscape as the world continues to focus on topical issues from healthcare to sustainability. As the UK’s leading centre of science engagement and the most visited museum group by school children, we have a unique ability to open people’s minds to the creativity and wonder of science.
Corporate partnerships are key to delivering our strategic goals. The Group’s innovative projects enable us to create exciting partnerships against the backdrop of business‑relevant subjects and with national reach. Through a diverse programme of new galleries, exhibitions and world‑class learning programmes, the Science Museum Group is transforming itself while forging long‑lasting, sector‑leading corporate partnerships.

This is a varied and exciting opportunity, and every day will be different in this relationships‑focused role. At any point, you could be spending time building relationships with corporations, networking and presenting a variety of concepts of what our Group has to offer.
