Are you a strong project manager with experience of working collaboratively across multi-partner projects with a passion for community engagement and digital heritage?
People’s History Museum (PHM) in Manchester is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future. The museum provides opportunities for people of all ages to learn about, be inspired by and get involved in ideas worth fighting for; ideas such as equality, social justice, co-operation, and a fair world for all.
PHM is part of the European-wide digital technologies for social inclusion CultureLabs project, funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme. The project aims to engage communities from immigrant, migrant or refugee backgrounds
The museum is seeking an experienced manager who can hit the ground running and work in partnership across institutional and geographical boundaries. Supported by the wider PHM Team the successful candidate will be the co-ordinator for the CultureLabs project and the main point of contact for all European project partners.
The CultureLabs Project Manager will have responsibility for the work-package covering the organisation, running and evaluation of four pilot projects taking place in the UK, Finland and Italy. PHM’s pilot project will explore the impact of Brexit on migrant communities in the UK and will centre on the Jo Cox memorial wall, created in the aftermath of the MP’s murder and now in PHM’s collection. The successful candidate will also work closely with PHM’s Programme Team, to develop the 2020 programme of events, exhibitions and learning activities on the wider theme of migration and identity, to meet the PHM Business Plan 2018-2022 and CultureLabs objectives.
The successful candidate will be the key contact and contributor to PHM’s involvement in the other CultureLabs work-packages including, studying existing community engagement creation principles, developing the CultureLabs ‘ingredients’ and ‘recipes’ for participatory work, feeding into the development of the digital platform and being involved in project dissemination.
You will need to be a confident decision maker and a highly organised project and budget manager with experience of reporting to funders. You will also need to be willing to travel to European project meetings (approx. three per year) and pilot project locations (two in Italy and one in Finland).
