Through the management and deployment of people change methodologies, the business change team ensures that change projects (whether technology, strategic, EDI, sustainability, process or culture oriented) are successfully implemented and will lead to an improvement in workplace productivity and positivity.
This role could be based at any of our principal offices: Swindon, London, York or Bristol, or even home-based, with relatively frequent travel to our sites across the country.
We need someone who is a capable leader and who has a track record of managing a successful, inclusive and transformational change programme in a major and diverse organisation. With a solid understanding of how people adopt and adapt to change, knowing the best ways of overcoming barriers and bringing the workforce on the change journey will be second nature to the successful applicant.
This is a great opportunity to play a pivotal role in an organisation that is core to the national fabric.

Interpretation Developer (Wildlife Photographer of the Year), NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
As an Interpretation Developer you will be responsible for researching and developing the Natural History Museum's temporary exhibitions and permanent galleries, with a specific focus on the Museum's annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. This exciting role sits within the Exhibitions and Interpretation team and requires creativity, teamwork, excellent communication skills and attention to detail.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY) is a major, global programme run by the Natural History Museum. The programme has an international photography competition at its heart – the most prestigious prize in nature photography – driving a diverse range of activity including a major exhibition at South Kensington and national and international tours.

Working as part of the wider Exhibitions and Interpretation team, you will also shape exhibition and gallery concepts, develop narratives and interpretation approaches, write and edit exhibition text, and select objects and specimens for display.

You have a strong interest in natural history and an appreciation for the field of photography and its requirements. You have experience in delivering content and interpretation in museums, galleries, heritage sites or similar environments and you're experienced in using photographic images, filmed footage and museum collections to tell compelling stories and communicate messages.
