Project Finance Officer, First Light, Royal Museums Greenwich

Be at the forefront of an exciting transformation at one of the world's most iconic historic and scientific landmarks.

As Project Finance Officer, you’ll play a pivotal role in First Light - an ambitious capital project set to reinvent the Royal Observatory Greenwich for a new generation. With the launch scheduled for spring/summer 2028, this major redevelopment will deliver a dynamic suite of permanent and semi-permanent exhibitions across the north of the Observatory site, designed to engage fresh audiences and illuminate the Observatory’s enduring relevance.

The role is related to an application for funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and will only be appointed if this is successful.

Supported by the Finance Business Partner and Senior Exhibitions Project Manager, you will be the first point of contact for the First Light project team for matters relating to project finances.

A major part of your work will also be to pull together all relevant documentation as required by the NLHF and other funders on a monthly basis.

Your role will include overseeing all information pertaining to suppliers, purchase orders, invoices and credit card purchases to the project cost, keep detailed records and ensure compliance with financial regulations and Museum policies. Further elements of the role involve helping with year end accruals and various other tasks if the need arises.
