Responsible to: Director

Salary: £28,000

Hours: 37.5 hours over 5 days a week

The mission of the American Museum & Gardens (AM&G) is to educate, stimulate, and inspire its visitors to further the understanding of American history and culture. The Museum carries out this mission through the presentation of its historic rooms, its decorative art and folk-art collections, and its special exhibitions, learning programmes, and gardens. Our organisation is the only one of its kind outside the boundaries of the United States. We welcome on average 60,000 visitors a year, most of them British.

It is an exciting time to join the AM&G with a new Director and Chair within the last year and a new strategy focusing on increasing visitor numbers, revenue, and deepening engagement with our audiences. We are looking to continue to grow in the coming years and this role, working closely with Leadership Team and other staff members across AM&G, will play a key supporting role in achieving our goals.
