Manchester Museum Marketing Coordinator
Manchester Museum are looking for a passionate and creative storyteller to join their communications and marketing team.
Winners of the European Museum of the Year Award in 2025, they're aiming to be the most inclusive, imaginative and caring museum you'll ever visit and the stories they tell are grounded in those values.
From the rich personal narratives of the South Asia Gallery to tales of adaptation and survival encapsulated in the amphibian species of the Vivarium, the new Marketing Coordinator will help to elevate a diverse range of voices and create even stronger emotional connections with audiences.
Later this year, the Museum launches its new, 10-year strategic plan so this is a chance to join a celebrated institution at a key moment in its history.
You will be responsible for:
- Support the Head of Communications and Marketing in devising and delivering communication plans to agreed aims and objectives.
- Support with the drafting and reformatting of written content and clear narrative for use across the Museum, in printed materials and on digital channels.
- Support with developing, managing and uploading digital and web content on platforms such as the Museum’s Squarespace platform.
- Proactively gather, create and publish content on social media channels and nurture a positive organisational reputation across key networks.
- Support the management, production and scheduling of email campaigns, developing regular communications aimed at visitors, partners and key stakeholders.
