Planning and Operations Manager - Global Engagement, Science Museum Group

The Global Engagement (GE) team plays a vital role in supporting SMG’s International Strategy—building partnerships, crafting impact across key global markets, and enhancing SMG’s mission and economic contribution. As our international activity grows, so does our need for robust internal systems, high-quality information flows and efficient operational processes that allow us to deliver confidently, transparently and at pace.

To help us implement these goals, we are recruiting a Planning and Operations Manager on a 2-year fixed term contract, based at any Science Museum Group site.

About the role

As Planning and Operations Manager, you will oversee the development of effective systems and processes that support SMG’s global activity. This includes establishing clear ways of capturing, analysing and sharing information; improving internal integration across teams; and promoting good practice in records management, reporting, compliance and decision-making.

You will manage corporate systems used by the Global Engagement team—from finance and budgets to CRM—and support the creation of performance metrics to measure the impact of SMG’s global work. You will also monitor external information channels, including those of the UK Government, ensuring the organisation can respond swiftly to consultations, requests and policy developments.
