Digital Producer – The Stained Glass Museum

The Stained Glass Museum is an independent museum dedicated to the art of stained glass, with a nationally-significant collection of stained glass, associated designs, cartoons and tools which tell the story of the development of this unique art form from the 13th century to the present day. In recent years the museum has digitized its collections, making them available online via its website and social media as well as national platforms including Art UK.

Thanks to funding from the Headley Trust, we are recruiting for a part-time role of Digital Producer to help us further our digital engagement. The Digital Producer will work with the museum Curator and part-time Collections Engagement Officer to design, develop and produce new, dynamic and engaging digital content (text, audio and video) around our collections for multiple platforms to help engage new audiences. This is a fixed-term post for two-years and is a key priority area of the museum’s strategic objectives and forward plan.

This is an opportunity to work with a unique and visually compelling collection and play a key part in developing our online and onsite interpretation to tell inspiring stories in glass, light and colour using a variety of digital tools.

We are looking for a creative individual, an excellent communicator and collaborator, with experience in creating digital content across web-based, social media and other platforms that responds to user needs and organisational aims. You will have strong design skills, and a proven track record of digital content design as well as digital marketing campaigns. You will be curious about user behaviour and the impact of content, making improvements to help drive engagement. You will be self-motivated with the ability to work upon your own initiative as well as part of a team. You will be able to build and maintain good relationships with key partner organisations. Ideally, you will also have knowledge of emerging technologies including AR and VR, and an understanding of the potential of digital engagement within the arts and heritage sector to increase access to collections, engage and develop audiences.

We will look to you to help us shape the museum’s evolving digital strategy, to ensure the successful delivery of digital projects and expect you will play an active role in both the design, creation and launching of new digital content.
In return we can offer you an excellent opportunity to be a part of a small team within a specialist museum where you can use your innovation and creativity to maximum impact and help us fulfil our mission to share with everyone the cultural and artistic importance of stained glass.

This is a part-time post (15 hours per week / 0.4 FTE) and may be suitable for flexible/hybrid working.
