• Community Collaboration: Work with National Gallery staff, project partners, and the wider GLAM community to refine workflows and procedures, ensuring inclusivity for smaller organisations and individual researchers.

• Training and Support: Deliver training sessions, develop support materials, and provide technical guidance to empower GLAM professionals in adopting these tools.

• Documentation and Recommendations: Produce detailed technical documentation, user guidelines, and strategic recommendations for future system enhancements.

• Strong experience in data management, digital platforms, or metadata standards, ideally in a cultural heritage or research context.
