Museum Business Manager – Saddleworth Museum
Job Title: Museum Business Manager
Salary: £34,000 per annum
Hours: Full time
Terms: One year fixed term contract
Location: Saddleworth Museum, Oldham OL3 6HS
Saddleworth Museum and Gallery is looking for a Museum Business Manager to lead its day-to-day operations and help shape its future.
The Museum brings together local collections, exhibitions and community activity. With funding secured for this new post, we are seeking someone who can turn our business plan into practical action, support our staff and volunteers, and develop the income and partnerships needed to sustain the Museum.
You will work closely with the Board of Trustees, managing operations, people and budgets while developing opportunities for room hire, retail, events and public engagement. You will bring sound judgement, clear priorities and the ability to build productive relationships across a small organisation and its wider community.
In your first year, you will build on the Museum’s recent development work, establish an effective working rhythm with staff and volunteers, and take forward an achievable programme of activity and income development. An agreed work programme will guide your priorities, with support and a handover from the current project team.
We welcome applicants with experience of managing a public-facing organisation, venue or cultural service. Museum or heritage experience would be valuable, but you do not need to be a collections specialist. You do need to understand how to balance public benefit, financial sustainability and the capacity of a small team.
Please see the job description and person specification for further details. If you have any questions please email Saddleworth.projectmanager@gmail.com or call the NLHF Project Manager, Jo Burns, on 07865 397 891 for an informal chat.
This post is funded by The Roger Tanner Trust.
