We are seeking to appoint a Director of Collections, who will play a significant role in the delivery of the V&A strategy to ensure our collections and knowledge are at the very centre of our work. You will be leading all aspects of curatorial and research activities across the Museum, developing a clear vision for the division from day-to-day operations and decision-making, to helping to define and build on the key areas of strength and expertise that can contribute to extending access to the widest possible audience.

Over the next 5 years we are planning a major expansion of our physical and digital*, using the lens of design to make our collections increasingly accessible and relevant. We have significant plans to expand and deliver our education vision, building on our existing successful programmes to become a force in design education. We plan to extend the geographical reach of the V&A and play a leadership and opinion-forming role in the fields of formal education and museum and gallery interpretation.
