Photographic Coordinator – Part Time, THE NATIONAL GALLERY
The role of the Photographic Coordinator is to co-ordinate, catalogue and distribute photographic work, manage the Gallery's analogue and digital photographic assets and to maintain the departmental administrative procedures and databases.
The post holder will be responsible for organising the work of the in-house photographers to ensure deadlines are met and the highest quality images are available and suitable for each use case. They are responsible for managing and cataloguing these assets and for general administrative duties such as purchasing and invoice payments.
Scientific Department Heritage Specialist, THE NATIONAL GALLERY
The National Gallery is seeking a pro-active and knowledgeable individual to act as a key liaison between the Scientific Department and the Gallery's Digital Dossier Programme (DDP). The DDP, an ambitious research infrastructure and knowledge-enabling change programme, is a key element of the 'Research for Public Benefit' pillar of the National Gallery's 2021-26 Strategic Plan and aims to format, organise and publish the rich collection information held by the National Gallery within a user-friendly searchable platform.
This role is part of the Programme's initial phase, comprising a range of overlapping digital initiatives across the Gallery. The post holder will interact with many of these initiatives but will be focusing on issues relating to the organisation of scientific data on paintings (analogue and digital) for preparation and exploitation as digital resources. Direct line management will be via one of the National Gallery Principal Scientists, who in turn reports to the Head of the Scientific department. There would also be a dotted line reporting to the DDP project manager.
This role is one of two DDP posts embedded within the Scientific Department. It will concentrate on the organisation of the scientific content of the department's current and historic records, as well as the practical aspects of developing and testing new more efficient digital documentation procedures (the other role is complementary in that is focussed on more technical informatics expertise).
Research Manager, VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM
The post holder will support the Senior Research Manager and Research team in the identification, collection, organisation, and analysis of research information on prospective donors, supporters, and issues of strategic importance to Development and the wider V&A. Specialist research will be dedicated toward supporting FuturePlan capital fundraising and multisite programming at a pivotal moment for the museum, as it prepares to commence ambitious new programmes in Bethnal Green (2023) and Stratford (2024).
This role supports Development research across five key areas:
- Research – identification, qualification and profiling of new prospects and existing supporters in expectation of cultivation touchpoints, external meetings, and major Development events and exhibition openings.
- Prospecting – direction of prospect identification, tracking and cultivation for multiple simultaneous projects across the V&A multisite expansion, working in concert with Development fundraising teams.
- Due Diligence – executing the V&A's due diligence gift acceptance policy through the production of necessary risk assessments, enabling the best possible safeguard against risks of reputational, financial, legal, and physical harm.
- Data Analysis – initiating proactive analysis of the CRM database to support specific prospecting tasks, and to inform strategic planning.
- Knowledge Management – monitoring prospects and supporters through public channels; developing research skills and best-practice research management among Development fundraising teams; and ensuring research is acquired, processed, and stored in a GDPR compliant fashion.
Besides these core responsibilities the role will support the wider Development department through the initiation, design, and execution of individual fundraising projects - from mass data analysis to in-depth strategic overviews – as directed by the Senior Research Manager and in concert with the Research Officer.
Closing date for applications is Sunday 26 March 2023 at 23:59.
