Jobbeschreibung

As Senior Special Events Officer, you will deliver an annual programme of events which support the delivery of the Museum's objectives, chiefly in engaging and stewarding the Museum's Members and other key funder relationships, along with driving commercial income. You will be primarily responsible for devising and delivering a creative, engaging Membership events programme including talks, private views, and family activity both onsite and hybrid. You will also support the wider Special Events Team with other event activity as required. Alongside creative content design that brings the work of the Museum to life for our supporters, you will manage the planning, delivery, communication and follow- up of events, as well as the development of new products. This includes ticketing, data and marketing activity. You will be required to manage budgets, look at ROI, and evaluate the success of activity.
