The registrar team within Tate Modern’s Curatorial Department are responsible for the management and co-ordination of the movement, documentation and storage of works of art, both in programmes originating within Tate and received as touring temporary exhibits.

Holding a degree in art history, fine art or a similar discipline, you’ll have a substantial experience of managing the registrar aspects of temporary exhibitions and display loans, liaising effectively with colleagues and external contacts within a gallery/museum or similar environment. You’ll need experience of arranging Government Indemnity and commercial fine art insurance, with extensive experience of international fine art transportation, museum standards and experience of negotiating loans and associated contracts.

You’ll have the ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines, whilst being flexible and providing creative solutions to problems. It’s vital that you’re an impeccable organiser with the excellent communication and influencing skills needed to carry out difficult loan negotiations. Excellent IT and database skills are a must, and you’ll also need a detailed eye for budgets.

There are two Exhibition and Displays Registrar positions available, one for temporary maternity leave cover for up to 12 months (ref: 9033), and the second a fixed-term contract for 2 years (ref: 9034).
