A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun.

Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be.
