DIGITAL PRESERVATION PROJECT MANAGER
House of Lords Pay Band B1
£33,767-£42,263
There is a vacancy for the position of Digital Preservation Project Manager in
the Parliamentary Archives. This is being offered as a secondment opportunity
to 31 March 2012.
The Parliamentary Archives provides a records management and archives
service for both Houses of Parliament, and assists the compliance of the
House of Lords administration with Freedom of Information and Data Protection
legislation. It supports the corporate aims of Parliament in the areas of
effective information management, maintenance of heritage collections,
promoting public understanding of Parliament’s work, and sound corporate
governance and risk management. In 2008 the Archives launched a Digital
Preservation Strategy and Roadmap which encompasses all of Parliament’s
digital assets requiring long-term preservation. We are now undertaking a
project to implement the Strategy and Roadmap.
The postholder will provide project management, business analysis and
technical input on the project, supporting the Assistant Clerk of the
Parliamentary Archives (Preservation & Access) who is leading this work, and
will be a major contributor to the successful implementation of the Strategy
and Roadmap. There is no staff management responsibility included in this
post, but the postholder will be expected to work closely with external
contractors and consultants as required.
We are looking for someone with strong project management skills, e.g.
PRINCE2; experience of gathering, analysing and specifying business
requirements for complex systems and/or services; awareness of digital
preservation principles and techniques, including up-to-date knowledge of
relevant standards; excellent planning, problem solving and time management
skills; excellent communication, presentation, influencing and team working
skills; a degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience. Hands-on
experience of digital preservation, digital repository management or a related
area, and experience of applying formal system and process modelling
techniques such as UML would be desirable.
