**SES Band 1 - Assistant Director-General, Collections Branch**:

- Opportunity for a leadership role at one of Australia's leading cultural institutions
- Lead development and management of Australia's largest library collection
- Collaborate with colleagues at other leading Australian libraries to achieve national outcomes

The National Library of Australia (the Library) is seeking a talented individual to fill the integral ongoing role of **Assistant Director-General, Collection (SES Band 1).**

The Library is the custodian of a magnificent collection - Australia's largest library collection, running to some 280 linear kilometres of physical items, and nearly 4 PB of digital collection material. Built over many decades, the collection is Australia's richest resource for engaging with and understanding Australian history, society and creativity, and is the southern hemisphere's richest resource of materials about our Asian and Pacific neighbours. The Assistant Director-General Collection is responsible for building, providing access to and ensuring the long-term preservation of this national treasure.

As Assistant Director-General Collection, you will need excellent knowledge of Australiana, and collection development and management principles and practices, in a library or similar cultural context. You will work with colleagues within the Library to achieve the Library's strategic vision and will work extensively with colleagues elsewhere in the sector, especially with the Heads of Collections, National and State Libraries Australasia, the Australian Library and Information Association, and similar professional bodies.

You will have exceptional leadership and management skills, working with a group of eight Directors over six Sections, a Branch workforce of c.140 staff and contractors, a capital collection development budget of $10.2m pa, and an operating budget of $15m pa. You will oversee a very busy program which saw approximately 200,000 collection items acquired and/or commissioned in 2023-2024.
