Your profile

You hold a postgraduate degree in art history, museum studies, humanities research, cultural management, business, political science or a related discipline. You combine strong analytical skills with a deep interest in culture and museums.

A qualification combining management and culture, such as HEC Paris’s Media, Art & Creation (MAC) programme or an equivalent, would be particularly valued.

You have conducted substantial research in a specific cultural field, either academically or professionally. This could include a research dissertation, a specialist study, documentary research or a contribution to an exhibition project.

You bring exceptional attention to detail and a methodical approach to handling complex information. You can verify sources, identify inconsistencies and carefully organise documentation and lists of artworks or cultural artefacts.

You have excellent writing and synthesis skills. An outstanding command of English, both written and spoken, is essential for research, document preparation and communication with international stakeholders. Another language would be an advantage.

Organised, curious and adaptable, you are keen to develop your versatility in project management and collaborate with a range of teams and partners. You demonstrate discretion, respect for confidentiality and a strong service mindset.
