We’re looking for a Head of Operations

The Egypt Exploration Society is looking for a full-time Head of Operations to join its Senior Leadership Team, based in its London Office. 

For almost 150 years we’ve been leaders in the exploration, study, and celebration of Egyptian cultural heritage and now we’re on the brink of expanding our work and our facilities to reach a wider audience. The Head of Operations will play a crucial role during our Building the Future campaign which will secure these ambitious plans. They will work strategically with the Society’s Director to ensure the efficient running of the EES London Office, facilitating the meetings of Boards and Committees, overseeing contracts and supplier due diligence, and assisting the Director with HR and administrative tasks.

This is not a research/academic position and so, while knowledge of Egyptian culture and history is not essential, the ideal candidate will be enthusiastic to learn about it through our events and charitable work.

Please send your covering email and completed application form to Dr Carl Graves ([email protected]) no later than 17:00 (GMT) on Friday 2nd May 2025. Do not include a covering letter or a CV as only the form will be considered by the selection panel. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the post further on an informal basis, please contact the Director, Dr Carl Graves: [email protected]. The Society will not monitor questions sent via third party or social media channels.

Applicants are also encouraged to complete and return our Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form with their application to enable us to monitor our recruitment process in relation to our equal opportunities policy.

Interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held on Zoom in the week commencing Monday 12th May 2025. The successful applicant would commence their role in June 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
