About the role

The Natural History Museum is looking for a talented interactive exhibit producer, whose focus will be commissioning and developing world-leading museum exhibits and experiences that inspire, inform and empower visitors. These will range from individual exhibits to full scale, multimedia immersive experiences. Exhibits could be delivered in electrical mechanical form as well as digital and have varying levels of interactivity.

As a producer the role will work with the exhibition teams to conceive an interactive vision for each project, identify the type of interactions needed within that space and then commission exhibits and experiences either internally through our in-house design, digital and technical teams or externally. This role does not demand expertise in all areas of technical build (digital/mechanical and build) but knowing what is technically achievable is critical. The candidate would need an excellent understanding of what makes a great exhibit - how you deliver content through these methods and be able to identify the learning outcomes for each one. They would have a thorough knowledge of the process so they could manage every stage from brief writing to robust testing in the gallery space. Finally the candidate would need to be aware of the most up-to-date technology and when it should be used in a Museum setting, as well having a good knowledge of the creative agencies working in this field.

This role will work across multiple projects and matrix manage a variety of staff. They would work closely with the digital, design and technical production teams, as well as the learning and audience advocate to ensure the exhibits were prioritised and developed to the highest standards. To achieve this the candidate will need strong inter-personal skills, be able to persuade teams of the value of the work and have respect for all elements of the process. They will need to have a level of management experience to manage the teams and agencies within the project and hold the vision for the whole project(s) rather than a single output.
