The Vacancy

The Royal Academy of Arts is currently looking for an Architect and Project Manager to work across a wide range of inspiring, world-class exhibitions, and capital expenditure projects and contribute to the care of its historic Grade 2* listed estate and other premises.

The Architect and Project Manager will be responsible for the procurement and smooth delivery of temporary exhibition builds across the RA’s exhibition spaces and the delivery of conservation, maintenance, and refurbishment projects across the campus, ensuring projects are delivered in line with best practice and with minimal impact on staff and visitors.

About You

To be considered for this role, you will have significant experience managing building projects and installations, ideally in a listed building or arts institution environment. You will have excellent project management skills, with the ability to deliver to key deadlines and possess positive and practical approach to problem solving.

This role would suit someone with an architectural background or a project manager with experience in an arts and/or cultural institution, who thrives in a creative environment.

The Company

The RA dates way back to 1768 when a group of artists and architects persuaded King George lll to help them to ‘establish a society for promoting the Art of Design'. The original academy, in Pall Mall, was less than 10 meters long. Since then, there have been many changes, though the RA’s core purpose of bringing art and design to a broad audience and championing art and artists still holds true.   

Today we are a contemporary art organisation hosting internationally acclaimed exhibitions and through investment in employee training and development, with courses such as Unconscious Bias, LGBTQ+ Awareness, Bystander, and Mental Health First Aid training, we are striving to foster a safe space for everyone through positive action. We also have Employee Network Groups, Ways In Groups, and an Employee Council so every employee has a voice and a way to feel heard by colleagues through the CEO.   

The RA is truly a unique place, both as an attraction to our visitors, but also as a workplace. Our people are at the heart of all we do, and we support a broad and inspiring mix of departments; from exhibitions, curators, art handlers, researchers, publishers, and digital to schools and education, visitor welcome, fundraisers, and corporate support.
