Head of Partnerships

London Museum in Smithfield in the City of London will open in 2026 and we’re working with some of the most exciting partners to deliver extraordinary experiences for the people of London and global visitors alike.

We have already secured £45m of this goal.

In this Head of Partnerships role you will get the opportunity to work with talented and ambitious colleagues and you will be responsible for the direct leadership of two fundraisers. As well as working to secure income for the Smithfield project, you will have an eye on opportunities for London Museum Docklands, set against the backdrop of Canary Wharf.
