Head of Marketing
at Twist Museum London in London (Published at 07-01-2025)
About Twist Museum
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a data-driven and growth-focused Sales and Events Manager to support the sales and events function at Twist Museum London.
Twist is a trailblazing concept that marries deep immersive experiences with the education of a museum, incorporating elements of the most successful visitor attractions. Science, technology and fun are at the forefront of what we do.
Twist is a trip down the rabbit hole into the world of illusions. Not just experiencing the strange and unknown, but understanding it. How do illusions work? When all your senses are deceived, what happens to the brain? And how do these stimuli shape your sense of reality? Twist was founded to examine the science behind such questions through fun, interactive exhibits for the whole family.

This role will be responsible for creating and implementing a multi-channel marketing strategy for Twist Museum, ensuring that all elements—paid and unpaid, brand-focused and product-focused—work together in an integrated manner to drive sales, shape our strategic direction, and achieve key business objectives.
