Description
The digitisation team converts our analogue collections to enable them to be accessed (for example through collections search) and preserved digitally. The team undertake the work in house or contract work to third parties through frameworks. In all instances the team deliver to internal customers who then connect content with our audiences.
The Digitisation Manager role is split between two reciprocal specialists who manage the in-house teams:
Manages a largely on-demand work, with some project-based work.
Manages large projects, with some on-demand work.
The Museum’s ambition for the next five years (see Annual Report 5.3 Digital Futures) is to significantly increase the rate of digitisation. Due to the age of our collections IWM is digitising its most vulnerable assets now, as many of the assets will no longer be viable to digitise in five years’ time.
The access and/or preservation need will be established by your Head of Department (working within the governance structure). Your role will be to channel the work to in-house teams or third-party suppliers.
Focusing our ways of working to turn the strategic vision to increase the rate of digitisation into reality will be the focus of your work. This will demand accurate progress reporting, and quality assurance to ensure the transition period results in positive change. The Digitisation Manager Access will work with the Preservation Digitisation Manager to identify and resolve issues, maintain the working environment and deliver the same standard of reporting.
You will be the day-to-day point of contact for third-party suppliers working on projects within your area, have delegated budget responsibility for equipment and materials and reciprocally cover the Digitisation Managers work in their absence.
For a full person specification which your application will be scored against, please see the attached job description.
