On perhaps a different level to some other replies...
Here at the Horniman, we have two staff dedicated to Digital - Digital Media Manager (me) and Digital Assistant (Vicky Pearce).
Digital is part of larger workloads of other staff including Documentation Manager and a team of several people who are working on collections, digitising as part of that project (and communicating too). Additionally, many staff contribute content and update our CMS - so while we have two defined roles, there is wider involvement.

Morning all
This is a really useful thread and I'm both reading with interest AND getting jealous at some of the resources at certain Museum's disposal :-)
I'm web manager here at the National Railway Museum and other than a Comms Officer that looks after social and newsletter etc that's basically it - just me and him for digital things.
I am part of a National Team though - the Science Museum group - and we have 3 web site managers (looking after their own museum site) - plus access to one front end designer, one developer, and one project manager.
However, this thread has really made me realise how far we have got to go on digital - in terms of resources at the very least.
Best
