The Collections Interpretation Manager is a new role within the Collections Department, that manages the use and care of our collections, and information about our history (Library, archives and objects) to unlock their potential. 

The role holder will be responsible for overseeing the development of collections-based interpretation, as well as working with colleagues from across the Cathedral to ensure programming for a range of audiences. They will contribute to various projects and layers of interpretation within the building, including its digital platforms; producing displays, interpretive installations, activities and events. They will be expected to manage a range of priorities using excellent organisational skills, with the purpose of engaging and inspiring the public by our historical treasure trove of over 1,400 years of stories to tell.

We are looking for a creative individual with: 

• sound communication and project management skills
• experience leading historic collections or interpretation/engagement activity in a heritage environment
• a good knowledge of British history (ideally including architectural, social, political or ecclesiastical history).

The successful applicant will also be expected to share in our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

In return you’ll find we are a welcoming place to work and we each take responsibility for our part in the Cathedral’s work, looking after St Paul’s for the next generation.  

• Our annual holiday allowance is 25 days plus bank holidays (FTE)
• Our pension scheme allows for up to 7.5% employer contribution
• And as you might expect we have life assurance of four times basic salary and an employee assistance programme

We are committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of United Kingdom Minority Ethnic / Global Majority Heritage, women, and disabled people are currently under-represented in our workforce, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase our representation. 

Interviews will take place on Friday 25th April 2025.
