We currently have the post of Head of Creative Studios available.

Our studio brings ideas and stories to life through technical and creative exhibition design and innovative production builds. We create engaging museum and gallery experiences, both permanent and temporary, alongside marketing campaign assets and corporate communications across print and digital.

As Head of Creative Studios, you will provide inspiring leadership for the department, ensuring the delivery of an outstanding in‑house service that supports teams across National Museums Liverpool.

In this role, you will shape how projects are planned, resourced and delivered across the studio while maintaining high standards of accessibility and compliance. You will also drive creative excellence by fostering collaboration and pushing the boundaries of design and production through the effective use of current methodologies, technologies and software.

Working closely with stakeholders across the organisation, you will align priorities and clarify project requirements to support the smooth delivery of multiple work streams, balancing creative ambition with operational efficiency.

You will bring experience delivering large‑scale projects across spatial design, fabrication, print and digital, with a strong understanding of how to take ideas from concept through to full production. You will be highly adaptable and thrive in a fast‑paced studio environment, with the confidence to build on established systems and ways of working. Strong project management and leadership skills are essential, alongside attention to detail, creative thinking, and clear communication.

We welcome and encourage applicants from a range of creative industries, including museums and galleries, theatre, television and film. Regardless of your background, you will have the technical knowledge to lead and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and the ability to apply these skills within a museum and gallery context.
