Thank you for applying for Managing Director with the London, Docklands
Museum of London Docklands sits in the heart of east London, located at West India Quay near to Canary Wharf. Opened in 2003, this grade one listed converted Georgian sugar warehouse specifically tells the story of the port, river and city – focusing on trade, migration and commerce in London. The London Sugar and Slavery gallery is unique in London telling an important and difficult story about London’s relationship with the world. Our Docklands site has achieved tremendous growth in recent years driven by strong community ties and high quality, free exhibitions. As we look to closing our London Wall site, our Docklands museum will become increasingly important and sit alongside our new museum in West Smithfield. We are a home for learning, exploration and adventure, and we aspire to be a force for good in London, as London must be for the world.
Thank you very much for considering this role. We hope that you have found all of the information and insight you need in the candidate information pack and we hope to see you soon. If you have any problems with the application process please don’t hesitate to contact the team.
