Overview

Digital Content Producer
Salary (Grade 6) - £34,886 - £37,070 per annum (dependent upon experience)

Hours: 37.5 hours per week - Fixed term contract - 2 years

Location: National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (with occasional travel to Fleet Air Arm Museum, National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool and HMS Caroline in Belfast).

There is the opportunity to adopt hybrid working (combination of working on site for a minimum of 2 days a week and from home).

Our epic story is of the Royal Navy, and its impact on Britain and the world. Here you can come aboard the most famous ships, planes, and submarines of the Royal Navy and experience them through those who served on them. As well as being truly captivated by the thousands of unique, emotional, and sometimes quirky stories that have shaped the Royal Navy into what it proudly stands for today.

Our vision is to be the world’s most inspiring Naval Museum, linking Navy to Nation. You are pivotal in us achieving our vision, and to support this we embrace diversity and want everyone to feel valued and have a sense of belonging.

This Is a Great Opportunity To Join The Team

Joining our Communications and Digital Engagement team - within our Marketing Department - you will lead on the creation of dynamic, impactful, multimedia content (video, photography, audio, graphic) that will make our digital platforms stand out and our incredible stories shine.

You will be joining the team to create a programme of digital content in support of the Boathouse 6 Project. This project transforms the 1840s Grade II* building into a series of new exhibition and event spaces and brings the long-held ambition to bring the Royal Marnie’s story to the dockyard.

You will help us tell the story of the project, working with the community groups, designers, architects, curators, conservators, funders and partners to document the development work and to prepare a range of assets to promote the new galleries and experience for launch.

What You Can Bring

• A passion for stories that make an impact.
• A creative flair that can bring a brand to life.
• A strong understanding of how to optimise content across digital channels.
• Experience of managing multiple work streams, managing content production from third parties as well as creating your own.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to be part of a friendly and diverse workplace within a unique heritage environment.
• Group pension plan with Royal London (6% employer contributions, 2% employee contributions and death in service benefit).
• 25 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays) pro rata for part time employees, increasing to 30 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays) after 5 years’ service, pro rata for part time employees, with the option to purchase additional annual leave.
• Enhanced maternity/adoption and paternity pay.
• Flexible working.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Free admission to other national museums and attractions within the reciprocal agreement.
• Discounts at our shops and cafes.
• Free and discounted tickets for family and friends.
