Archive Manager

Location: Dundee (primary) with regular travel to Aberdeen

About the role

DC Thomson’s archives hold an exceptional collection spanning physical, digitised and born‑digital materials, capturing the history, brands and communities that define our organisation. From iconic titles like The Beano and The Sunday Post to The Scots Magazine, The Press and Journal and The Courier, our archive is both a treasured legacy and an active business asset.

As Archive Manager, you’ll play a central role in ensuring this rich collection is accessible, well‑organised and effectively used across the business. You’ll lead day‑to‑day archive operations, managing priorities, maintaining professional standards and supporting teams across editorial, product, commercial and legal to unlock the value of our content.

Working across a multi‑site team in Dundee and Aberdeen, you’ll oversee archive services that enable efficient access, reuse and discovery of materials, while ensuring the right controls are in place for rights, compliance and preservation. You’ll also contribute to improving workflows, enhancing metadata and strengthening how the archive supports business needs.

This is a unique opportunity to combine stewardship with impact, helping to preserve our heritage while making it relevant and usable for today’s audiences and commercial opportunities.

What you’ll be doing (skills & experience)

Leading day‑to‑day archive operations, ensuring consistent, high‑quality service delivery across physical and digital collections
Developing the archive strategy to evolve the service, aligned to portfolio priorities and business outcomes.
Managing and supporting a team of archivists and assistants, driving clear standards, productivity and effective ways of working
Overseeing cataloguing, metadata and classification practices to improve discoverability and usability of archive content
Delivering efficient access services, reducing turnaround times and supporting increased internal use of archive materials
Applying archive, copyright and data protection standards, ensuring compliance and escalating risks where required
Supporting digitisation activity and helping prioritise collections for access and preservation
Working closely with editorial, product, commercial and legal teams to enable safe and effective reuse of content
Using data and insight to identify improvements in workflows, metadata quality and service performance
Managing relationships with external suppliers for digitisation, storage and conservation services
Contributing to continuous improvement of archive systems, processes and standards

Requirements

We’re looking for someone who:

Has experience in archive or collections management within a complex or multi‑format environment
Understands metadata standards, cataloguing practices and digital archive workflows
Is confident working cross‑functionally, building strong relationships with a range of stakeholders
Can balance operational delivery with continuous improvement
Has a strong understanding of rights, copyright or information governance considerations
Is organised, proactive and comfortable managing priorities across multiple demands
Brings a collaborative mindset and a passion for improving access to content

If you want to help shape how a world‑class archive is preserved, accessed and brought to life across a modern media organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply for this role, please follow our online application process and submit a CV and cover letter.

Closing date for applications: 19th June at 12:00noon
