Job Opportunity: Digital Preservation & Records Manager, Paul Mellon Centre (London)
Salary: £43,000 to £45,000 per annum, depending on experience
Contract: full-time (35 hours per week), temporary 18 month project post
Closing date: midnight on Sunday 24 July 2022
Background & Role:
The post has arisen following a review of digital record keeping activities at the Paul Mellon Centre and runs for eighteen months, from September 2022 to February 2024. The aim of the project is to improve digital preservation and records management practices across the institution. The ultimate goals are twofold: first, to ensure that the Centre’s digital records successfully support ongoing administrative, legal, financial and operational business requirements, and second, that those with long-term research value are discoverable and accessible to future generations for as long as needed, as part of the Institutional Archive. In support of the latter, the postholder will also be responsible for implementing Preservica (the software package selected by the Centre to support digital preservation). Connected to our work as a research centre, we are keen to share the research and learning of this process with other institutions and also learn from best practice in the field.
Ideal Candidate:
This role would suit an experienced professional who embraces the challenges and opportunities presented by digital records. It requires someone who has both up-to-date knowledge of best practice in the field and practical experience of implementing this in an everyday working environment. It requires someone with excellent project management skills, technical know-how and good communication skills.
