Archivist & Collections Manager (Music Memorabilia)

Imagine opening a crate to find a jacket worn at Glastonbury, a guitar that shaped an era, or handwritten lyrics that defined a generation. At Once Held, that’s your everyday reality.

At Once Held, we partner with music artists and their estates to protect and activate their legacies. By uniting physical and digital archives, we preserve the icons of music history and create new ways for fans and future generations to experience them.

Now, we’re looking for an Archivist & Collections Manager to lead our physical archive – caring for priceless collections while building the systems and team that will carry them into the future.

Why this role is rare:

• Shape a new archive function from the ground up.
• Work hands-on with culturally and financially significant objects.
• Collaborate with artists, estates, and industry leaders.
• Grow into a leadership role as the business scales.
• Be part of a creative, mission-driven team at the intersection of music, culture, and history.
