  • Lead on the implementation of workflows for good digital asset management – acquisition, ingest, cataloguing and retrieval - and work closely with the Digital Archivist to implement good practice in digital preservation for collections assets.
  • Advise NTS on opportunities for sharing content more widely with a view to blended model that includes making some content available free under Creative Commons licensing, and some commercial exploitation.
