About the role

You will play a key role in growing and strengthening the Ashmolean Museum's commercial offer for group visitors and the travel trade.

You will work closely with colleagues across the Museum, including Marketing, Box Office, Visitor Experience, Public Programmes and Events, as well as with an external consultant, to design and deliver high-quality group experiences.

You will act as the main point of contact for commercial group and travel trade enquiries, support the development of pricing and commission models, and contribute to monitoring performance through reporting and analysis. You will also represent the Museum professionally in trade contexts, including promotional activity and trade events, and share learning and best practice across the wider Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM) division.

This is a part-time, fixed-term position, working 22.5 hours per week (0.6 FTE) for two and a half years.
