Job Description:
Are you a strong project manager with a 'can do' approach, and an ability to identify solutions? Do you have an understanding of museum collections?
About us
The Science and Innovation Park in Wroughton plays a vital role in the Science Museum Group's sustainability activities as well as hosting a range of commercial activities. At the heart of the Park is the National Collections Centre, home to around 80% of the Science Museum Group Collection.
About the role
We are now recruiting for a Senior Collections Services Project Manager to lead the completion of the Consolidation project at SIP, which aims to rehouse large objects from the collection and improve hazard management and documentation of objects. The role will manage the Collection Services Project Managers and wider team in vacating hangars and consolidating the collection onsite as well as working with the wider Collection Services department. This role is based at the Science & Innovation Park (with at least 3 days working on site, rest from home), on a fixed term basis until December 2025.
About you
Joining us, you will have a solid understanding of project management, and moving projects forward. You'll be able to build relationships and influence stakeholders, help to identify project blockers and bring solutions. You will lead by example, demonstrating your 'can do' approach and problem-solving attitude. Due to the nature of this role, an understanding of best practice in museum collections care will be helpful.
Don't feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn't match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.
