Kew is the world-leader in plant diversity science, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a major visitor attraction, that shows the importance of plants in all our lives. Kew’s mission is to inspire and deliver science-based plant conservation worldwide, enhancing the quality of life.

To help us achieve this, we are seeking a first class Interpretation Manager, who will lead an Interpretation Team and manage a suite of interpretation projects. You will be critical for identifying compelling content themes, that will provide a framework for our lively visitor events programme.

We are looking for a highly organised and creative individual, who will relish working across a range of projects and media, and turning complex scientific information into delightful visitor experiences. You will have excellent research, writing and editorial skills, combined with extensive project management experience. Your strong interpersonal skills will ensure that you are an effective manager and able to influence a range of stakeholders.
