Summary
We’re seeking a proactive and experienced event professional to join our dynamic Venue Hire team as a Museum Events Officer. This newly created role focuses on the planning and delivery of large-scale, high-profile internal events, including exhibition openings, Director’s Dinners, Museum Lates, and the Wallace Collection’s annual Festive Drinks. You'll be responsible for managing all aspects of event delivery—from supplier coordination and event schedules to on-the-day operations and post-event evaluation.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Head of Events and the Development team to support key museum and fundraising activities. This role requires strong organisational skills, confident stakeholder engagement, and the ability to manage multiple priorities while ensuring events run smoothly and reflect the Wallace Collection’s high standards. You'll also lead internal communications with security, front-of-house teams, and other departments to ensure the safety and success of every event.
In addition to internal events, the Museum Events Officer will occasionally assist with commercial venue hire during peak periods, including site visits and on-the-day support. This is a unique opportunity to contribute creatively and operationally to events in one of London’s most iconic cultural institutions.
You’ll be joining a dynamic and supportive team, including the Head of Events, two Events Officers, and an Events Administrator.
