Head, Digital Experience & Insights, Wellcome Collection

What will I be doing?

From the start, you'll be line-managing a team of 3 direct line reports, and matrix-managing the Wellcome Collection project work of a wider team of 13 digital, technology and data specialists. You will be a member of Wellcome Collection's management team and will play a crucial role in shaping the future of wellcomecollection.org as a product; the digital accessibility provision available to our users; the accessibility of collections information to internal and external stakeholders; our Collections Management Systems and the strategic approach to digital activity within Wellcome Collection. We are presently undertaking two major capital projects - one relating to our collections management systems, and another relating to our long-term sustainability - that you will play a key role in.

The former of these projects is the Wellcome Collection Systems Transformation Project, which will see the comprehensive product replacement of our collections management infrastructure. The project has appointed delivery partners for the Collections Management System element, and the Library Management System element will shortly follow. The transformation is not solely systems based but reflects a wider ambition to make our handling of collections information more dynamic, accessible and creative. We will also be looking to transform the way we manage our collections themselves, utilising better digital tools and data structures to transform collections movement, accessibility, research and create stronger links between collections and our stakeholders. You will be on the board for this project and able to offer insight and data-driven direction to meet the needs of Wellcome Collection's users and stakeholders.
