The successful candidates will have the following:
* Confident with using complex software products, including familiarity with databases or archive/collections management systems.
* Proficient in data management, including demonstrable experience of manipulating large volumes of data and testing workflows for the migration of data or similar digital assets.
* Familiarity with standards in descriptive and technical metadata, e.g. Dublin Core, ISAD(G), and a high level of fluency with XML.
* Excellent organisational skills and experience of working within a team to deliver a complex, time‑limited project.
