As we approach our 50th anniversary, the Sainsbury Centre is embarking on a transformative capital project to refurbish and future-proof our Grade II listed building. This major renovation will include architectural and infrastructure upgrades and visitor experience enhancements, consolidating the museum's innovative legacy and cultural heritage for the next 50 years.

During the construction, the Sainsbury Centre will deliver an alternative programme of activity ensuring the continuation of our unique approach to animate and show case our collection and to continue to extend access to and raise the profile of the Sainsbury Centre to reach new audiences.

This role will provide critical support to these parallel projects to ensure the smooth and efficient delivery of the museum's operations, playing a pivotal role in coordinating complex, interdependent activities across the Sainsbury Centre, ensuring outcomes are delivered on time and within budget. This will include pre-closure planning, mobilisation, practicalities, and logistics as well as the realisation of our Museum Without Walls programme.

You will represent the Sainsbury Centre in key stakeholder forums, advocate for its needs, and stand in for the Directorate when required. From project inception to handover, you will collaborate with internal teams (curatorial, collections, learning, conservation, technical, front of house, media) and external partners to ensure seamless delivery, business continuity, and operational success.

You will be a confident, solutions-focused professional with a proven track record in project delivery - ideally within museums, heritage, or cultural institutions. You thrive in complex environments, communicate clearly across all levels, and bring a calm, organised approach to high-pressure situations. You will be across the detail, deploying a 'hands-on' approach whilst also bringing a strong blend of strategic thinking, operational expertise, and collaborative participation.
