About Us

The Natural History Museum is both a world-leading science research centre and the most visited natural history museum in Europe. With a vision of a future in which both people and the planet thrive, it is uniquely positioned to be a powerful champion for balancing humanity's needs with those of the natural world.

It is custodian of one of the world's most important scientific collections comprising over 80 million specimens. The scale of this collection enables researchers from all over the world to document how species have and continue to respond to environmental changes - which is vital in helping predict what might happen in the future and informing future policies and plans to help the planet.

We are at a pivotal moment in our history as we launch a new strategy setting out our role as the natural world faces increasing threats. Building on our world-leading collection, global reputation for science and as one of the world's leading visitor attractions, the NHM has ambitious plans leading up to the 150 anniversary of the opening of the Waterhouse Building in 2031, making this a truly exciting time to be part of the NHM team.

About the role

You will provide the innovation needed to create a compelling and engaging programme, which will continue to build on the success of this relaunched programme.

Based in the Philanthropy team, you will work closely with a number of colleagues in the Development Group and across the Museum to raise the profile of the Patrons scheme and planned giving and to establish best practises. You will also be the Development Group's point of contact for gifts of objects/specimens to the Collection (through Wills or as lifetime gifts).
