- Coordinate internal stakeholders, external suppliers, and specialist consultants to ensure successful project delivery.
- Oversee and upload digitised materials to the Creative Content Exchange platform and RSC DAMS, ensuring compliance with metadata standards and the accurate application of rights information.
- Monitor project risks, report on progress in line with funder requirements, and provide recommendations to support successful outcomes.
