The Freud Museum is looking for a new Director of Operations.

If you are people focus, operational leader with a experience of driving innovation and change, we want to hear from you.

The Freud Museum is a unique small London Museum, where Sigmund Freud lived and worked after his flight from Vienna in 1938. Its world-class collections are supported by an active programme of education, events and exhibitions.

We are seeking an experienced Director of Operations, with an understanding and empathy for small museums and the charitable sector, to work alongside a new Director of the Museum.

The Director of Operations should be available to spend the majority of his/her working week in the Museum.
