About this Role
The Royal Academy of Arts is seeking to recruit an Assistant Registrar & Collections Manager to join the RA Collections team on a two-year fixed-term contract at an exciting time as we embark on a major gallery refurbishment. The Assistant Registrar & Collections Manager will be responsible for supporting both the continuing work of the department during this period alongside the planning, preparation and implementation of the refurbishment project.

Duties will be split across registrar and collections management work as this role will support a range of collection activities. Our ideal candidate will be highly organised, with excellent attention to detail. You will be a natural communicator, proactive and with an ability to use your initiative.

About You
To be considered for this role, you will have sufficient experience in a similar role. You will have knowledge of collection management standards regarding packing, handling, transportation, insurance, display and environmental conditions. You will be comfortable using a collections management database such as CI+. A sharp attention to detail to maintain accurate records and ensure the safe movement of artworks is essential.

You will be discreet with an ability to maintain confidentiality and will have a flexible approach to work and a willingness to work across the Royal Academy’s sites and out of hours where necessary.

You will have experience with best-practice security requirements and procedures for collections, in particular their storage and transportation. Previous certification as a ‘Known Consignor’ is desirable and a willingness to become certified is essential.
