It's knowing your artwork will help millions enjoy exceptional masterpieces

It's feeling proud of the part you play, and it's presenting one of the world's greatest art collections. This is what makes working for Royal Collection Trust so special.

Our passionate and talented Exhibitions team deliver exciting and high-profile exhibition programmes at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and The Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Supporting the Head of Exhibitions, your challenge will be to produce exquisite graphics for all our exhibitions.

From exhibition labels to wall vinyls and large-format banners, you'll design, layout and proof graphics for all aspects of the visitor experience.

You'll manage print productions, as well as oversee the installation of materials, making sure everything you create is delivered on time and within budget.

Collaboration is at the heart of the Exhibitions team, and you'll play a key part in exhibition preparations. You'll commission content from photographers and illustrators, arrange site visits, and will be the main point of contact with reprographics agencies.

You'll also work closely with the Learning and Publishing teams, producing mock-ups of creative work for a variety of audiences.

Deadlines will often be demanding. Yet, in all that you do, you'll rise to the challenge of presenting this magnificent collection.

You'll have a relevant degree or equivalent, along with experience working as a graphic designer or artworker in a creative environment, making you an asset to our team.

You'll have excellent CS6 skills, and your command of relevant IT packages such as Photoshop and InDesign will be essential.

With knowledge of printing processes and materials, you'll be confident laying out for publications and packaging files for print.

Your keen eye for detail will be vital when it comes to copyediting and proofreading.

Well organised, and able to multi-task and work at pace, you'll juggle several projects at any one time.

Excellent communication skills are important too, as you'll be dealing with internal and external colleagues on a daily basis

And above all, you'll enjoy working as part of a team.

This is your opportunity to use your creative skills to deliver the exceptional. 

In return you will be rewarded with a comprehensive benefits package, including 33 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays), a 15% employer contribution pension scheme (with the option for flexibility - to increase contributions or draw down as salary), lunch provided, with training and development, as well as a range of recreational facilities.
