National Museums Scotland is one of the leading museum groups in Europe. With one of the largest and most diverse collections in the world, we are responsible for the acquisition, preservation, and display of Scotland’s cultural, historic, and national heritage.

Millions of local and international visitors enjoy our four museums each year. We also reach a wider audience through touring exhibitions, loans, community engagement, digital programmes, and research.

Over the last decade, we have invested over £120 million in our sites and have more than doubled our visitor numbers, with over 3 million people now visiting our museums. We have also transformed our communication and engagement strategies. In 2019, we completed our Masterplan for the National Museum of Scotland, opening three new galleries dedicated to Ancient Egypt, East Asia, and the Art of Ceramics.

We are seeking enthusiastic, passionate, honest, and service-oriented individuals to join our team.

• Research and Audience Insights: Use research and insights to identify workstreams, making evidence-based decisions to produce multi-format content for various platforms.
• Team Management: Manage a team of Content Producers and establish partnerships with external collaborators to create impactful digital content for nms.ac.uk and social media channels.
