Working closely with the Marketing Officer, Welcome Supervisor and CEO, the post holder will engage directly with audiences to build footfall to Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, owning relationships with visitor groups, schools and societies. Operationally, they will hold key relationships with the Finance Officer and Catering Supervisor. They will seek out new and refresh existing audiences, using their own expertise and networks, as well as developing those already in place, to reach educational, tourist and special interest groups. They will own the administrative journey, shaping it as necessary to achieve a streamlined, efficient and professional process. The postholder will be a team-player with initiative and a passion for collaboration, as well as a motivated and enthusiastic person. The nature of this role requires on-site working weekly. The musuem is multi-faceted, complicated and has a variety of workstreams in action at any given time, so to deliver the outputs, on-site immersion is vital.
