This prestigious role comes at a pivotal moment for the Museum, as we embark on a transformative phase of redevelopment. Following the launch of our ambitious five-year strategy in 2022, we are setting our sights on a much needed redevelopment of the Museum; one option for this may include a relocation.

This redevelopment will not only reimagine our physical space but also enable us to repurpose our collections and expand our role as a dynamic hub for social history.

Beyond operational leadership, you will guide the Museum’s mission to become a world-class cultural destination, enriching the lives of residents, visitors, and scholars alike.

Our ideal candidate is someone who shares our core values: inclusivity, creativity, courage, and responsibility. You will bring a proven track record of strategic leadership, project management including change management, exceptional communication skills, and a passion for heritage, arts, and community engagement.

This is a rare and significant opportunity to play a transformative role in shaping the future of a museum that is at the heart of Cambridge’s cultural life, ensuring its legacy for generations to come.

About The Museum of Cambridge

The Museum of Cambridge is an independent Trust and Company limited by guarantee, number 412205. Our Museum is one of only a handful of independent museums in the city of Cambridge to operate as a registered charity, number 311309

The Museum of Cambridge is a unique institution that tells the social history of Cambridge and the surrounding region. Set in the Grade II-listed 17th-Century White Horse Inn, on the important Roman road from castle to river to university, the Museum has told the fascinating stories of local people since it ceased trading as a pub in 1936. You can find the Giant’s Boot, see the prize belt of the long-distance champion of the world, examine witches’ bottles, and discover the real Muffin Man. Under the curatorship of Enid Porter, from 1947-1976, the Museum pioneered oral history, recording the rich history, customs, stories and beliefs of the everyday people of Cambridge. This is a tradition the Museum preserves today, especially in our work with communities across the region.

The Museum also hosts a unique and growing community social history website, capturingcambridge.org. It is a vehicle for stories about buildings, people and places in the city and well beyond, from archival and family sources, with every posting geolocated.

Cambridge is a city of remarkable contrasts and opportunities. Known globally for its world-class university and groundbreaking contributions to biomedical and tech industries, it remains rooted in its heritage as a historic market town in East Anglia. With a growing, multicultural population, Cambridge is a vibrant and diverse community, but it is 9 also one of the most unequal cities in the UK. In this unique context, the Museum of Cambridge plays a vital role as an inclusive cultural centre—dedicated to representing and celebrating the stories of all who live in the region, fostering a sense of connection, and addressing the need for a shared space that belongs to everyone.
