About the Role:

The Digital Preservation Coalition collects and secures the future of digital records, preserving them for the nation and making them as accessible and available as possible. Our collection is one of the largest in the world, containing over 11 million historical records from medieval parchment to modern papers, digital documents, datasets, and tweets.

The Digital Archivist team manages the lifecycle of these digital records from receipt, ingest, preservation, and access. They analyze and prepare digital records and metadata for our digital archive, which requires keeping abreast of the evolving challenges of preserving increasingly complex born-digital materials and handling high-volume output from large-scale digitization projects.

We undertake research activities, engaging externally to learn from others, and contribute to the development of archival practice in key areas such as digital preservation and the presentation and contextualisation of digital records. We work in close collaboration with our in-house product management and software development teams to build and improve our suite of innovative digital preservation tools.

This is a hands-on role, facilitating the lifecycle of our digital records, but you will also line-manage our team of Digital Archivists, providing guidance and direction, and motivating the team to deliver to our objectives. You will play a major role in our work to establish a new cloud-based digital repository.

About You:

You are seeking to develop a career in a world-leading institution using your skills and experience to meet the challenges presented by digital records. You are enthusiastic, organised, and an excellent communicator who is keen to join the Digital Archiving team and lead our archivists in the challenges of preserving modern digital records.
