TMAG is a Statutory Authority within the State Government and draws resources and staffing from the Department of State Growth. TMAG provides a vibrant, professional and stimulating environment for tourists, locals, employees, and volunteers.
TMAG enriches, inspires and educates local and global communities by connecting them with Tasmania’s unique journey and place in the world.
TMAG has a strategic plan to guide its development and support its people to successfully achieve the TMAG vision. The strategic plan outlines four areas of focus: an island in a changing world; First Peoples of lutruwita (Tasmania); migration, heritage and resilience and southern extremes and perspectives.Position Objective
The position is focussed on leading the Cultural Heritage team in the management and development of the objects, photographs and documents collections through curation, exhibition development, research, and interpretation. A significant aspect to the role is fostering ties with the diverse Tasmanian community to guide acquisition decisions, encourage donations, maintain engagement, and to enable the growth of academic and general knowledge about Tasmania’s social, political and economic history.

Major Duties
• Lead, support and manage the Cultural Heritage team to foster a collaborative approach to the provision of museum quality services that are responsive to internal and external stakeholder needs.
• Oversee the ongoing management of the Cultural Heritage collections, including research and registration activities.
• Curate, project manage and support exhibitions and programs which tell the story of Tasmania through the Cultural Heritage collections.

• Provide specialist advice and recommendations on Cultural Heritage acquisitions, deaccessions and loans. Develop and adhere to TMAG policies and procedures.

The position leads and operates in a small team environment (including volunteers) and the occupant must be flexible in the scope and range of activities performed to ensure that the team achieves its objectives.
The role exercises professional judgment to ensure that competing and conflicting business priorities are met within agreed timeframes and to the required standard. TMAG priorities are often impacted by non-negotiable deadlines, requiring the occupant to constructively influence operational planning while balancing stakeholder demands through the effective management of expectations. A professional, consistent, and reliable approach to stakeholder engagement is paramount in all interactions.
It is an expectation that the occupant exercise initiative and operate with autonomy within the boundaries of TMAG and the broader State Growth policies, frameworks and delegations. While they act independently in performing their core work functions, the occupant will consult with their supervisor regarding allocated work that is non-routine, sensitive or high-risk in nature.
It is an expectation that a professional, results-focused approach is achieved with authoritative advice being delivered.
The occupant is expected to comply with relevant Workplace Health and Safety legislation, and departmental policies and guidelines relating to this position.
