The postholder will conduct market research into current client networks to gain better understanding of the demands and barriers to deposition and explore new markets. The postholder will also undertake cost analysis under supervision of the Collection Development Manager and aid in the development of new cost models. The role includes customer focused duties such as providing and following up on quotations, maintaining an up-to-date client list and maintaining accurate records for commercial projects within the ADS's Collection Management System. The role will have a crucial part to play in developing the ADS commercial client base, increasing commercial revenue, forging new partnerships and strengthening our reputation as a world-leading digital archive for the UK's national heritage sector.
