About us
The Commercial Experiences team at the Science Museum Group (SMG) focus on enhancing the customer experience and the group's reputation, with extra income or profit being the natural result of positive, well planned, and managed visitor facing commercial operations.

Previous commercial projects have included the delivery of the Flying Scotsman VR Experience, the refurbishment of the Science Museum IMAX, and the delivery of Power Up - an interactive gaming gallery.
About you
Joining us, you will bring a commercial mindset and will have an understanding of projects within a visitor-facing environment. You may have experience in retail or in other visitor-facing environments, delivering new projects or opening new spaces. You will bring strong communication and relationship building skills, will be able to oversee projects with multiple moving parts, and ultimately will be able to make things happen.
