Job Title: Assistant Curator
Department: Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage
Location: Lausanne, Switzerland
Contract Type: Full-time Permanent

Starting date: April 1st, 2025

Mission

Are you passionate about sports, culture, and the art of storytelling? The Olympic Museum is seeking an Assistant Curator to support the creation of inspiring exhibitions that bring the Olympic spirit to life for a global audience. In this role, you’ll contribute to the design and execution of innovative exhibitions that connect visitors to the Olympic Movement’s history, values, and impact in today’s world.

Main Responsibilities

Step into a role where your creativity fuels stories of athletic triumph and human connection. As the Assistant Curator at the Olympic Museum, you won’t just support exhibitions—you’ll help design experiences that echo across cultures and generations. Imagine blending historic artifacts, immersive technology, and compelling narratives to breathe life into the world’s greatest stories of sportsmanship and perseverance.

Here’s how you’ll make a mark:

  • Architect of Engagement: Help shape exhibitions that captivate minds and hearts. From drafting initial concepts to creating interpretive frameworks, you’ll ensure each exhibition captures the essence of the Olympic values—an invitation for visitors to see beyond the podiums and medals.
  • Co-Pilot of Innovation: Work side by side with curators, operations teams, and experts in design and tech. Together, you’ll push boundaries, creating spaces that make each Olympic story an interactive, unforgettable journey.
  • Storyteller & Researcher: Dive into research that brings every corner of the Olympic world to light. From rare images to artifacts, you’ll uncover the unseen, crafting a narrative that transcends borders and engages every visitor.
  • Champion of Collaboration: Play an essential role in bringing a shared vision to life, working with stakeholders from digital wizards to legal minds, each bringing their expertise to elevate the museum experience.
  • Cultural Alchemist: Help shape displays that don’t just inform but resonate—an artful blend of history, art, and culture that makes every exhibit feel both timeless and new.
Profile

Experience: Expertise in crafting sensory experiences and using an iconoclastic approach to create engaging, innovative content. Focused on developing creative content or providing project support, with a strong emphasis on delivering memorable experiences that encourage visitors to return.
Digital Tools: Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Teams, Share Point, Word, Excel, Power Point) and familiarity with project management tools.
Languages: Fluency in French and English, both spoken and written, is essential.

In this role, you’re not simply curating content; you’re sparking curiosity, igniting imaginations, and creating connections that will outlast any exhibition date.

Come and join an organisation where the spirit of inclusion, gender equality and diversity is embedded in its DNA, and which focuses on what unites us – a passion for sport and its values. Work in a flexible and rewarding environment which offers competitive employee benefits and numerous incentives to live a sustainable, healthy and active life. By joining us, you will become part of the Olympic Movement and help to build a better world through sport, with the opportunity to work with people of more than 70 nationalities.

We are a value driven organisation. Our values help bring out the best in us. We strive for excellence and encourage people to do the best they can. We promote respect in many different ways, respect for yourself, for the rules, for your opponents, for the environment and for the public. We celebrate friendship, which is the hallmark of the Olympic Games. There is more that unites than divides us.
