National Museums Scotland is one of the UK’s leading museum services. It has a national and international reach and operates five museum sites.
A major redevelopment and modernisation programme across our organisation is nearing completion, including a £50 million redevelopment of the National Museum of Scotland. This investment has created new displays, enhanced learning and public facilities and provides high quality visitor experiences. A further £12 million of investment in new displays is being planned for this site.
As part of a team responsible for building the profile of National Museums Scotland through the media and digital channels, you will drive visits to our five national museums and our website through the delivery of specific media relations and communication campaigns. You will do this through creating compelling media materials, events and photo opportunities, filming facilitation and managing external agencies working on our behalf. Targeting a range of media and developing partnerships which extend reach will form part of your remit as will responding to media enquiries.

It is vital that you have at least two years relevant practical experience in the field which includes creating compelling media materials and statements, managing sensitive media and communications issues, social media and acting as an organisational spokesperson, preferably gained within a cultural setting.
