Manchester, United Kingdom Science Museum Group Full time

Do you have experience of managing successful, high-profile media relations and communications campaigns from conception through to delivery? Do you have experience managing press events and handling teams of journalists including broadcast crews?

About us
The Science and Industry Museum, part of the Science Museum Group, explores how ideas can change the world, from the industrial revolution to today and beyond from a globally significant industrial heritage site.

The Science and Industry Museum is on the site of Liverpool Road Station, the Manchester terminus of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the world's first purpose-built passenger railway. What happened here changed the world, triggering a revolution in trade, technology, travel and time. It is where science met industry and the modern world began.

The museum includes the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station and the world's first railway goods warehouse in the heart of the world's first industrial city, alive with science and innovation today.

A long-term, multi-million-pound repair and improvement programme is underway to carry out crucial restoration work and reveal new spaces and perspectives for all visitors to enjoy, play and learn in.

We are bringing to life the story of the site, inspiring the innovators of the future to power the next (green) industrial revolution and creating a more economically and environmentally sustainable museum.

About the role
You will champion our vision, help sustain and increase our regional, national and international reach, drive footfall and income and promote our brand by managing the museum's press office and positive profile.

You will be a key figure in telling authentic stories, leading communication campaigns for a series of exciting major new exhibitions and museum initiatives, including Manchester Science Festival, and working alongside other colleagues to manage communications around site transformation projects.

This position is offered on a hybrid basis from our Science and Industry Museum, Manchester. Given the requirements of the position, you will be required onsite on a regular basis.

Contract: 12 month Fixed Term, maternity cover; Full time
Salary: £33,077 per annum
