PURPOSE OF THE DIGITAL PRODUCER

The Digital Producer will work across the organisation, but in particular with the Programme, Operations, and Marketing Teams, to design and deliver ways to both enhance experiences for visitors and extend our activities beyond the gallery through digital access and engagement. We want our galleries to be enjoyable, informative and surprising spaces which provide innovative ways to engage with contemporary art.

You will help us to achieve this by using digital technologies to create content in imaginative, meaningful and exciting ways. We are looking for applicants who have knowledge of a range of digital technologies, and are experienced videographers.  We are looking for candidates with innovative ideas to engage our existing visitors and new far reaching and diverse audiences.

We have recently invested in new digital tech equipment, for which you will be responsible, for inhouse use, but also proactively making available for hire by third parties. You will be responsible for promoting, managing and distributing AV equipment hires to other arts organisations, curators and artists. The gallery looks across all of its activity to identify new and vital income streams, and you will also lead on researching the regional market for digital production services.

Your role will include creating and commissioning new content, including short films, podcasts, and programming interpretation, and devising new forms of interacting with our audiences. You will work alongside the marketing team, creating and editing content for social media, the website, e-commerce, e-marketing campaigns and other platforms, supporting the new Digital Marketing Producer in delivering highly engaging content for social media channels.

You will also provide digital support for gallery exhibition, where required, blended workshops, hirers and the FoH Visitor Survey team.

We are passionate about encouraging more and different types of visitors to use our galleries, and engage with our programmes, and the Digital Producer will play a key role in this work. We’d like to welcome more children and young people to the gallery and encourage older people to visit more regularly too.

We want to encourage more people with disabilities or other protected characteristics to feel welcome here, so if you have any experience of the kind of barriers these visitors might face, that could be very useful.

Above all, we are interested in your potential to carry out this role, which is not dependent upon qualifications, but your potential to excel.  We seek candidates that are ambitious to make their mark on the organisation’s activities.
