Technical Project Manager
This is a unique opportunity to join Royal Museums Greenwich at a time of
change. The opening of the Sammy Offer Wing in 2011 marked the beginning of
a series of exciting redevelopments, both physical and digital — including
a programme of high-profile special exhibitions and new ways of interacting
with archives.
The Design & Digital Media team is responsible for the Museum’s creative
use of technology for public programmes. Our networked systems are core to
the visitor experience, whether that’s online or on-site in our galleries.
Increasingly, our systems must work seamlessly across all platforms.
The Museum’s digital strategy formalises its commitment to open data,
citizen science and open-source approaches, with ambitious plans for mobile
interpretation.
The successful candidate will provide technical leadership for the delivery
of the Museum’s digital strategy. They will also keep the Museum at the
forefront of innovative approaches to public engagement.
You will liaise with staff in all departments across the museum –
especially those in Collections Management, IT, Learning & Interpretation
and Exhibitions – and work with external partners and collaborations.

• Regularly track and communicate project status and progress to project

dependency evaluation and management approaches, recognising and
communicating early signs of difficulty and delay
• Produce, or manage the production of, appropriate project documentation
at each stage of a project lifecycle
• Support the implementation and culture of an agile software delivery
methodology
• Improve the standard of technical delivery and competencies within the
