Salary: £45,000 per annum Reports to: Director of Programmes and Chief Curator Liaises with: All levels of contact, internal and external About the Role We are seeking an experienced interdisciplinary Curator to initiate, develop, and produce a dynamic Live programme that extends and activates the gallery's exhibitions and curatorial vision. This role is central to how audiences experience Serpentine both within and beyond the gallery walls - through talks, performances, participatory experiences, and cross-disciplinary live formats. This role will activate the Serpentine as a site of encounter, experimentation and exchange. Building on our flagship live programming strands such as the annual Marathons, Park Nights, Serpentine Cinema and Study Days, you will initiate and produce a live programme that runs alongside and through our onsite exhibitions - not as interpretation but as an extension, interruption and sometimes provocation. The Live Programmes Curator will work closely with the Programmes, Production and Audience teams to create innovative, interdisciplinary programming that is rigorous, accessible, and responsive to diverse audiences. Why This Role Matters This position offers the opportunity to shape a distinctive Live Programme that expands the ways in which audiences encounter contemporary art, and the spaces through which artists produce it. The Live Programmes Curator will play a key role in positioning Serpentine as a site for experimentation, dialogue, and shared experience. Main Duties: Programme Development & Curatorial Leadership Conceive, curate, and deliver a year-round programme of live events aligned with the gallery's exhibitions, commissions, and broader artistic objectives. Develop new formats that bring art and visual artists into dialogue with other disciplines such as dance, music, film, literature, technology, design, and social practice. Identify emerging and established artists, thinkers, and collaborators whose practices resonate across disciplines. Production & Delivery Lead the planning and delivery of live events, including talks, performances, workshops, screenings, and new formats. Take day-to-day ownership of programme delivery, managing event timelines and co-ordinating closely with internal teams (Production, Development, Audiences and Editorial) and external partners to ensure activity is delivered on time, on budget and to a high standard. Oversee technical, spatial, and audience experience considerations to ensure high-quality, well-executed events. Audience Engagement & Innovation Develop programming that attracts new, diverse, and multi-generational audiences, both onsite and online. Experiment with participatory, immersive, and socially engaged approaches to live programming.

Salary: £45,000 per annum Reports to: Director of Programmes and Chief Curator Liaises with: All levels of contact, internal and external About the Role We are seeking an experienced interdisciplinary Curator to initiate, develop, and produce a dynamic Live programme that extends and activates the gallery's exhibitions and curatorial vision. This role is central to how audiences experience Serpentine both within and beyond the gallery walls - through talks, performances, participatory experiences, and cross-disciplinary live formats. This role will activate the Serpentine as a site of encounter, experimentation and exchange. Building on our flagship live programming strands such as the annual Marathons, Park Nights, Serpentine Cinema and Study Days, you will initiate and produce a live programme that runs alongside and through our onsite exhibitions - not as interpretation but as an extension, interruption and sometimes provocation. The Live Programmes Curator will work closely with the Programmes, Production and Audience teams to create innovative, interdisciplinary programming that is rigorous, accessible, and responsive to diverse audiences. Why This Role Matters This position offers the opportunity to shape a distinctive Live Programme that expands the ways in which audiences encounter contemporary art, and the spaces through which artists produce it. The Live Programmes Curator will play a key role in positioning Serpentine as a site for experimentation, dialogue, and shared experience. Main Duties: Programme Development & Curatorial Leadership Conceive, curate, and deliver a year-round programme of live events aligned with the gallery's exhibitions, commissions, and broader artistic objectives. Develop new formats that bring art and visual artists into dialogue with other disciplines such as dance, music, film, literature, technology, design, and social practice. Identify emerging and established artists, thinkers, and collaborators whose practices resonate across disciplines. Production & Delivery Lead the planning and delivery of live events, including talks, performances, workshops, screenings, and new formats. Take day-to-day ownership of programme delivery, managing event timelines and co-ordinating closely with internal teams (Production, Development, Audiences and Editorial) and external partners to ensure activity is delivered on time, on budget and to a high standard. Oversee technical, spatial, and audience experience considerations to ensure high-quality, well-executed events.
