Can you help us to excite and engage visitors in our STEM-focused exhibitions and live engagement programme? As Interpretation & Content Manager at SIM, you will be a key creative driver for upcoming programmes and an audience advocate for visitor needs within the SIM Public Programme team. You will focus on developing and delivering compelling narratives, interpretation, and interactives for exhibitions, as well as innovative concepts and content for associated live events including school visits, festivals, and holidays.
Over the next few years, you'll help bring to life some of our most exciting upcoming themes, including:
1. Space - a family-friendly holiday programme and exhibition linked to a BBC brand, inspiring curiosity about our universe.
2. Manchester's Cotton Industry and the Legacies of Transatlantic Slavery - an exhibition with a dedicated schools programme and public events exploring the city's industrial past and its global connections.
3. Manchester's Innovative Engines - events to celebrate the reopening of our iconic Power Hall after six years of redevelopment, showcasing the city's engineering heritage and future innovations.
These programmes will offer you the opportunity to collaborate with curators, designers, and creative partners, creating compelling, visitor-focused narratives and experiences that inspire diverse audiences to connect with STEM.
Joining us, you will be able to communicate complex and big ideas in a creative and engaging way, with experience of developing, tailoring, and delivering narratives. You'll be able to bring STEM to life in the creation of audience-focused exhibitions and live events. You'll have good communication and creative writing skills which can be applied across a variety of mediums for a range of readers, from museum visitors to internal and external stakeholders. You should have experience working on exhibition development or event programmes with stakeholders such as curators, designers, and artists to ensure visitor-focused narratives, texts, and interactive development.
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 we have.
