Sitting within the Interpretation department at the V&A and reporting to the Senior Interpretation Producer, with a dotted line to the Exhibitions department, the Exhibitions Interpretation Producer will be responsible for developing, overseeing and producing creative interpretive schemes focused on meeting audience needs for major temporary exhibitions. This role will work in close collaboration with Exhibitions department colleagues throughout the exhibition production process. The post also requires close working with other colleagues from across the museum, including the Curatorial, Design, Digital, Research, Marketing and Visitor Experience departments, to contribute to the narrative planning and design of exhibitions, and form interpretation that is at once accessible and meaningful, and integrated into each exhibition in a holistic and impactful manner.
This role requires creative and practical thinking combined with an ability to collaborate with colleagues and take initiative to form trailblazing interpretation and content that speaks to the vision and values of the V&A and above all, its audiences. The ideal person will be able to think in depth and act at speed. A creative flair, passion, diligence, an absolute eye for detail and proactive nature are essential.
The ideal candidate will champion the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion to develop and deliver audience-centred interpretation schemes that are meaningful, relevant and inspiring. A passionate audience advocate, they will ensure that the needs and lived experiences of our visitors, both current and underrepresented, are carefully considered—shaping and honing overarching curatorial narratives and facilitating audience engagement to elicit responses and potentially content that can be integrated into exhibitions in a manner which activates and forefronts all collection stakeholders’ voices.
