Job Description

Please attach/upload a current resume and cover letter in order for your application to be considered for this position. Job Description

Five Colleges, Incorporated (FCI) seeks a Museum Collections Information Manager to support the work of six museums that share a common collections management system and public portal.

The museum collective has begun an initiative to replace the CMS database and discovery platform. The manager will act as project manager for the migration and implementation. In addition, the manager will produce and maintain documentation related to the current CMS platform, including data standards, reparative cataloging, and controlled vocabulary. The manager works with consortium staff on digital projects related to the database collaboration, manages budgets for grant projects, and manages projects and timelines.

This is a full-time, exempt, benefited position with Five Colleges, Incorporated. The primary work location for this in-person role is in Amherst, Massachusetts, but requires occasional in-person visits to the partnering museums.

FCI is the higher education consortium that supports the excellence of its member campuses — Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith colleges, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst — through extensive academic and administrative collaborations.

The Ideal Candidate

You could be a great fit for this position if you:

  • Can successfully lead all aspects of a technology project from start to finish — by managing scope, timeline, tasks, budget, and stakeholders

  • Welcome the challenge of implementing a common discovery tool that can accommodate the differences and nuances of separate museums’ collections

  • Find satisfaction in sustaining a long-standing partnership and partners’ engagement in a lengthy and complex project

  • Love documentation - to create it, update it, and share it with users

  • Can communicate clearly and effectively
