Commercial Events Manager –

Sir John Soane’s Museum is the home of the great Regency architect Sir John Soane (1753 – 1837),
and it displays his collection of antiquities, furniture, models, and paintings arranged as they were
at the time of his death. In addition, it preserves his collection of over 30,000 architectural
drawings and a fine library of over 7,000 volumes. It has been described as the ‘supreme example
of the house-museum in the world’ and remains an iconic inspiration for architects, artists, and
designers.
As a national museum, we are committed to being a source of knowledge and inspiration. Through
our unique context of being the former home of a great architect, collector, and educator, we aim
to stimulate the world’s highest standards of creativity, research and learning.
Key to the Museum’s success is a high performing Soane Museum Enterprises (SME) team, the team responsible for its commercial income across our major strands of venue hire, private tours, retail, and licensing.

Role Summary
This role requires an ambitious, creative, experienced, and efficient events manager. The Commercial Events Manager is responsible for year-on-year growth in sales targets for the Museum’s commercial venue hire, events, tours and filming and photography offer; the successful applicant will be responsible for all aspects from sales and marketing strategy to overseeing the managing and delivery of events – both external hires and internal promotions.
This is an exceptional opportunity to work in a small and friendly, and high profile, national museum
at a busy and exciting time, and make a very real contribution to its future income generation.
