Creative Production and Media Manager

Salary on appointment will be £31,236 per annum, with an annual increment up to £37,694 per annum.

The Sainsbury Centre is a world-class art museum with a unique perspective on how art can foster cultural dialogue and exchange, formally recognising the living lifeforce of art and enabling people to build relationships across an arts landscape.

Home to a global collection of artworks spanning 6,000 years of human imagination and creative power, our curators collaborate with artists to explore the most important questions people have in their lives such as What is Truth? and How Do We Find Love? It is not a museum to only learn more about artists, cultures or movements it is a place of experience, where collections are animate, and visitors are invited to form a personal relationship with art.  The Sainsbury Centre is an international museum for everyone welcoming over 1 million visitors a year to enjoy its collection, housed in a modern architectural icon designed by Sir Norman Foster, and its sculpture park set in 350 acres of parkland. It will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2028.

We are looking for an exceptional individual ideally with an arts and culture and/or museum background who has drive and passion to deliver the Sainsbury Centre’s message on a worldwide stage.
