Job Summary

Are you passionate about bringing art to everyone? Do you believe in the power of digital to engage people with the arts? We’re looking for a Digital Platforms Officer to join our friendly and dedicated team.

Job Description

As the Digital Platforms Officer you will play a key role within Art UK’s Digital Infrastructure team by supporting the team as we embark on an ambitious programme of work to transform how the UK’s public art can be made available for reuse through Open Access.

Working closely with colleagues, technology partners and suppliers, you will make a substantial contribution to the wider development and growth of Art UK and develop experience in the technical development and management of a major arts platform.

Your commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion aligns with our organisational values, and you are passionate about contributing to a positive workplace culture.
