Come and work at the iconic Natural History Museum! We're looking for a Social Media Executive to join the social media team. If you love creating content about natural history, science, dinosaurs, and protecting nature (to name a few things!), this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
As Social Media Executive you'll craft and schedule content for the Natural History Museum's social media channels, including TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, creating in response to briefs as well as your own ideas. You'll lead organic social for big moments like exhibition and gallery launches, help keep our social calendar balanced and ambitious, and help look after the community that turns up in our comments every day. This is a rare chance to join a high-achieving, ambitious and creative team at the UK's favourite museum, where social is treated as strategically crucial rather than a 'nice-to-have'.
You've got experience helping run social for a brand or organisation and you know how to drive meaningful engagement and community. You're a hands-on content creator, comfortable shooting and editing video and photos, spotting the angle in a story that's going to stop the scroll, and with sparkling copywriting skills that can make people laugh, care or act in very few words. You're comfortable parsing performance data, understanding what it means and adapting your approach in response. You don't shy away from taking creative risks and are willing to move fast to jump on a trend or opportunity. You're able to switch between projects and tasks with a calm and focused attitude. You're a team player, supporting your colleagues to achieve ambitious goals. And, you have the diplomatic tact to be able to say no when needed to requests for channel space without damaging relationships or the team's reputation.
Hybrid, based in South Kensington, London, with at least three days onsite per week. This role does not qualify for Museum sponsorship, so the successful postholder will need a valid right to work in the UK at the point of offer.
Permanent, 36 hours per week. Salary £34,793 per annum. Closing date 23:59 on 4 October 2026; interviews expected w/c 19 October 2026.
