This role will play a key part in helping devise and deliver on the marketing and communications plans for the project as it moves toward completion. Work will include media relations, creating social media content and marketing collateral, assisting with a wayfinding strategy for the new galleries and devising internal communications approaches and content. The post holder will also provide rota cover for the NGS press office, responding to enquires and arranging visits for media across all NGS sites.
