We are a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. We use the Museum's unique collections and our unrivalled expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today.
About the role
The Natural History Museum is committed to playing its part in addressing the planetary emergency facing the natural world. We want to harness the power of our collections and enable research that provides solutions from and for nature. To help us achieve this, we have focused our research through a series of ten themes led by senior research and collections staff. In addition, we have £180M plus to invest in the creation of a new science, collections and digitisation centre at Thames Valley Science Park (TVSP), which is due to open in 2026/27. This will house about 27 million of our 80 million specimens, new laboratories and act as a research hub. It is part of a wider partnership with the University of Reading (UoR). Further details are given in the Job... Description.
There is an exciting opportunity for a Research Themes and Partnerships Manager to join the Science team at NHM and provide critical support to help develop and embed the Research Themes and Partnership with University of Reading within the organisation. The role will be pivotal in supporting the Science teams in delivering the transformational change envisaged in the Research Themes and partnership; and driving forward this agenda as we work towards opening the new centre at Thames Valley Science Park in 2026/27.
About you
We are looking for a creative, motivated, and scientifically capable person, who understands the importance of NHM’s Scientific activities and the potential for its growth and development. You will act as the main point-of-contact for the themes and partnership, and work closely with the senior science leadership team. Your practical ‘can-do’ attitude will be required to identify opportunities and develop them. You will also be working with a vast array of very different types of stakeholders within NHM, at University of Reading and in a range of other external organisations. You will need to be able to build strong working relationships with these stakeholders. You will be an excellent communicator who is able to articulate opportunities and persuade people to engage. You don’t need to have done this exact role or covered the exact subject matter before – you will be supported by colleagues across Science Group to team-up.
What we offer
• 27.5 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays (full time equivalent)
• Generous defined contribution Natural History Museum Pension Scheme (employer contribution 4 - 10%)
• Season ticket, bicycle and rental loan
• Life insurance
• Free admission to our exhibitions
• Staff discount at our Museum shops and cafes
• We offer a wide variety of training initiatives and opportunities to build skills

About Us
We are a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. We use the Museum's unique collections and our unrivalled expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today. We care for more than 80 million objects spanning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually and 16 million visits to our website.
Today the Museum is more relevant and influential than ever. By attracting people from a range of backgrounds to work for us, we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things.
We employ 900 staff in a variety of roles, all united by our vision of a future where people and planet thrive. We need everyone to have the passion and drive to help us with our mission to create advocates for our planet and inspire millions to care about the natural world.
Diversity and inclusion matter to us.
Our vision is of a future where both people and the planet thrive. Diversity is one of our core... values and we strive to build a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. All new staff who join us learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion to the Museum and how to contribute to creating an inclusive environment.
We know we have more to do, but we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at the Museum feels they can thrive and feel valued and respected.
About the role
Our collections are widely considered as one of the most globally important natural history resources because of their taxonomic, geographical, and historical breadth. The Museum’s Digital Collections Programme and related initiatives are adding new specimen records to unlock this treasure trove of information at scale for global scientific, entrepreneurial, academic and public audiences.
The Museum needs a Collections Management Solution (CMS) that can be used on multiple devices, within collections or remotely, to manage this complexity and support the necessary integrations.
The Museum’s CMS is therefore core to the Museum’s mission, and the CMS programme (RECODE) aims to secure the strategic future of the collection by:
• Implementing a new CMS, based on institutional needs and a shared approach, with a supplier who can meet our strategic requirements
• Working with internal and external stakeholders to outline solution requirements.
• Liaising with key peer institutions to understand and influence shared data models, data standards and the community’s approach to collections management solutions
The Museum has just completed a procurement and will work with its new supplier to deliver a CMS over an estimated period of 2 years (2023-2025).
You will work directly with Project Manager, Business Analysts, Data Architects/Engineers and Test Analysts and will play a key role in delivering the new CMS as part of the programme and in line with the Museum’s ambitious digital strategy.
This is a varied and evolving role which will be an integral part of the RECODE implementation team - a team of diverse experts working towards setting new standards in programme delivery. As one of the biggest natural history museums globally, the Museum contributes significantly to the worldwide scientific, geodiversity, biodiversity, and conservation communities. The RECODE programme will play its part in contributing our learned knowledge and new technology to the community in accordance with our vision to further global research, improve the management of natural history collections and provide future-proof technology.
The duration of this role is 24 months, which will cover early engagement with our new platform supplier. The RECODE programme is a critical endeavour for the Museum and as such there is an expectation that the role will be extended to accommodate the full implementation of a solution to Go-live and future continuous improvement in subsequent phases or to ensure critical roles continue in case of delays

• Ability to generate test plans including estimated timeframes and deliverables in project setting

About the role
The Natural History Museum is committed to playing its part in addressing the planetary emergency facing the natural world. We want to harness the power of our collections and enable research that provides solutions from and for nature. To help us achieve this, we have focused our research through a series of ten themes led by senior research and collections staff. In addition, we have £180M plus to invest in the creation of a new science, collections and digitisation centre at Thames Valley Science Park (TVSP), which is due to open in 2026/27. This will house about 27 million of our 80 million specimens, new laboratories and act as a research hub. It is part of a wider partnership with the University of Reading (UoR). Further details are given in the Job Description.
There is an exciting opportunity for a Research Themes and Partnerships Manager to join the Science team at NHM and provide critical support to help develop and embed the Research Themes and Partnership with University of Reading within the organisation.

About you
We are looking for a creative, motivated, and scientifically capable person, who understands the importance of NHM’s Scientific activities and the potential for its growth and development. You will act as the main point-of-contact for the themes and partnership, and work closely with the senior science leadership team. Your practical ‘can-do’ attitude will be required to identify opportunities and develop them. You will also be working with a vast array of very different types of stakeholders within NHM, at University of Reading and in a range of other external organisations. You will need to be able to build strong working relationships with these stakeholders. You will be an excellent communicator who is able to articulate opportunities and persuade people to engage. You don’t need to have done this exact role or covered the exact subject matter before – you will be supported by colleagues across Science Group to team-up.
