They will also be Lead Curator of the V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership (until it ends in 2027) and will lead the V&A's redevelopment of the Architecture Gallery.

As a senior member of the AAPD Department, they will also make a significant contribution to the wider work of the V&A, contributing to policy, projects and public programmes, supporting fundraising and income generation, and supporting the Keeper in the running of the Department, including by creating a positive environment, supporting change, line managing 3 staff and sharing knowledge, expertise and best practice with a wider group of Curators and Assistant Curators to help them develop and perform.

They will also play a leadership role in the community of Senior Curators, Curators and Assistant Curators that will span the four curatorial teams.
