As an Archive Collections Assistant, you will play a crucial role in enhancing the support provided by the Archive team. Your primary responsibilities will include assisting with collections management and fulfilling Design Team requests.

Key aspects of the job include auditing archive assets, identifying signs of material instability, meticulously documenting observations, and conducting preservation activities with specialist equipment. You will also prepare detailed condition reports and ensure precise data transfer, both physically and digitally, using advanced software tools, especially Adobe.

Additionally, you will be responsible for:

  1. Assisting with design loan requests, ensuring proper retrieval, storage, and handling of archive assets.
  2. Maintaining accurate archive records, supporting digitisation, and overseeing cataloguing, sorting, and labelling of collections.

We are looking for a candidate with a background in corporate archive, conservation, or museum with expertise in collections management. You should be proficient in Mac (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Adobe Bridge & Photoshop) and digitally savvy with strong research and communication skills.

The ideal candidate will be quick at analysing information, including visual data, and proactive, solution-focused, and highly organised with excellent time management and brand awareness. You should be self-motivated and adaptable, with the ability to work independently or in a team, take on new tasks, and thrive in a busy, changing environment.

Burberry is an Equal Opportunities Employer and as such, treats all applications equally and recruits purely on the basis of skills and experience.
