Aims and scope of the post

The Museum Data Manager helps museums through all the stages of bringing their collections data into the Museum Data Service (MDS). They help  make the onboarding process reassuringly quick and easy, particularly for those museum staff and volunteers with limited technical knowledge. The postholder also makes the ingested data as useful as possible to end users by mapping the various source data fields to Spectrum units of information.

MDS is a transformative service from Collections Trust, Art UK and the University of Leicester. It aims to connect and share all the object records across all UK museums, providing the raw material for anyone to work with this wealth of knowledge. The core MDS system uses Knowledge Integration’s CIIM middleware.

Main responsibilities and tasks

• Responding to museums that have expressed interest in joining MDS and leading them through the onboarding process.
• Setting up and managing organisations and user accounts in the MDS CIIM and where needed, Wikidata.
• Generating and filing customised data processing and data deposit agreements based on MDS templates.
• Helping museums export collections data from a range of collections management systems and other systems.
• Helping museums apply access permissions to their data in the MDS CIIM.
• Mapping source data fields to Spectrum units of information.
• Proactively liaising with, and helping, museums to update their MDS data at agreed intervals.

• Helping to prepare guidance and deliver training relating to the onboarding process.
• Responding to enquiries about MDA codes that identify UK collection-holding organisations and their collections and maintaining the database of these.
• Undertaking data cleaning work for Collections Trust to support collections consultancy work.

General responsibilities

• Following the principles of Collections Trust’s policies and procedures and those of MDS.
• Additional duties as may reasonably be required from time to time.

💚 About Movement

Movement builds the campaign infrastructure behind some of the most effective progressive organisations in Europe. Our platform powers CRM, communications, and campaigning for trade unions, NGOs, charities, and political parties. The Labour Party used Movement to win the 2024 General Election. The NEU, UNISON and Greenpeace use it every day to organise, mobilise, and win.

🎯 The role

Our clients split into two worlds. Trade unions run ballots, organise workplaces, and mobilise reps. NGOs and political parties run campaigns, fundraise, and fight elections. Each world deserves a dedicated lead who knows it inside out.

You'll be that lead for NGOs and political parties, working alongside our Head of Campaign Success for Trade Unions. You'll take on our priority NGO and political party accounts.

The shape of the role will shift as the segment grows. Our trade union book is deep. Our NGO book has flagship names but fewer of them, so at the start you'll spend a lot of time helping us win new NGO and political party clients. Sales for this segment is founder-led, and you'll be the founder's right hand: running demos, working events, building relationships across the sector, and onboarding what we win together. As the book fills out, the role tilts towards account management and campaign success. You'll be growing your own future job.

This is a hands-on role. You'll set up accounts from scratch, work out how a client's structure maps onto the platform, and troubleshoot technical issues as readily as you'll run a demo or a renewal conversation. You'll also take your turn on the support rota alongside other campaign success team members.

You'll manage one direct report. Their role covers our client community, training, webinars, case studies, frontline support, and some of our smaller NGO accounts.

🛠️ What you'll do

🚀 Help grow the NGO and political party segment (the biggest part at first)

• Work alongside the founder leading sales for this segment as their right hand on every deal
• Run product demos, solo or as part of a founder-led pitch
• Represent Movement at sector events, conferences, and meet-ups. Build the network that brings deals in
• Follow up inbound leads and keep longer conversations warm
• Help build proposals and contribute to RFP responses

🤝 Own our priority NGO and political party accounts (growing as we win)

• Build strong relationships with campaigners, digital leads, and data teams at our NGO and party clients
• Run onboarding for the accounts we land: kick-off, training, launch planning, and the first 90 days
• Drive adoption of the features that move the needle for each client, from branded RCS to share testing to organiser dashboards
• Lead renewal conversations. Spot churn risk early and act on it
• Find expansion opportunities and turn them into proposals
• Run quarterly reviews that clients actually find useful

🔧 Be the technical lead for your accounts

• Set up new accounts: provisioning, custom fields, tags, segments, and templates
• Configure integrations, single sign-on, and sender domains
• Triage and resolve technical issues for your accounts, escalating to engineering when needed
• Take your share of support days on the rota, covering the inbox for the whole client base alongside the rest of the team
• Translate between campaigners and engineers. You'll be fluent in both languages

🌱 Manage and develop your direct report

• Set priorities for our client community, training, webinar, and case study work
• Oversee our smaller NGO & WhatsApp only account book, which your report manages day to day
• Support their development as their role grows
• Build support workflows that scale as the client base does

🔍 Who we're looking for

You've probably done one of these:

• Worked in sales, account management, or implementation at a campaigning platform or similar such as Action Network, Engaging Networks, or NationBuilder, and know how NGOs buy
• Run digital, data, or a CRM at an NGO, charity, or political party, and been the person who actually built the segments and fixed the emails
• Led campaigns with serious digital infrastructure behind them and managed the platform relationship from the client side

Experience inside the NGO, charity, or party world counts for a lot here, especially alongside commercial experience. We're not ruling out people from outside the sector.

✅ You'll need

• Confidence running demos and holding your own in commercial conversations, plus a genuine appetite for events and networking
• Real experience with campaigning or CRM platforms as a power user or administrator
• The technical depth to build an organisation from scratch. Give you a client's structure, branches, regions, teams, campaigns, and you can work out how it maps onto fields, tags, lists, audiences, and permissions
• The ability to read HTML or SQL and follow a technical conversation. You don't need to be an engineer, but you can't be scared of the tools
• Strong relationship skills. Clients should feel you're on their team
• A track record on retention. Renewals landed, churn spotted early, accounts kept and grown
• Experience managing someone, and the appetite to develop a report whose role is growing
• Willingness to take your share of support days. Everyone here covers the inbox, us included
• Genuine commitment to progressive causes. Our clients will feel if you don't mean it

✨ It would help if you have

• Knowledge of email deliverability, GDPR in a campaigning context, or the European progressive tech landscape
• A second European language

🎉 Why this role

• You'll own the priority accounts in a whole segment, and work shoulder to shoulder with a founder to grow it
• You'll see the whole company, not one corner of it
• A four day week as standard, remote-first with a London office when you want it
• Your clients will be organisations fighting for things that matter, and your work will directly affect whether they win
• Movement is profitable and growing, and this role grows with the segment you build
