International Programmes Coordinator

The National Archives (TNA) is seeking an International Programmes Coordinator to lead the operational delivery of two international research programmes.

PASSAGE (Partnership for Atlantic Slavery Scholarship, Archiving and Global Exchange) is a three-year research partnership led by The National Archives and funded by the Lloyd's Register Foundation. It aims to increase, support and promote research into transatlantic slavery through scholarship, archiving and global engagement. The programme includes an international research mobility programme that will centre and support research on transatlantic slavery by scholars from West Africa and the Caribbean.

The UK-Saudi Arabia Cultural Fellowships Programme is a forthcoming research initiative developed by The National Archives (UK), the Ministry of Culture of Saudi Arabia, and Effat University in Jeddah. It will fund four Saudi and two UK scholars for a year-long fellowship of historical and cultural research centred on the history of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula, using The National Archives'. Fellows will spend a ten-week period in London, and the fellowship will conclude with a symposium held in Saudi Arabia.

The postholder will be responsible for internal and external communications and stakeholder liaison, working across cultures to ensure impactful, efficient and compliant delivery of each partnership programme in line with funders' expectations.

1. Research strategy and delivery
2. Research impact, culture and engagement
3. Grant fundraising, including in our capacity as an Independent Research Organisation
4. Management and assurance of external funding
5. Grant-making to the archives and GLAM sectors

The postholder will work as a key member of this growing and vibrant department of around 25 people.

The role is a fixed-term appointment until 31 December 2027, subject to extension if further funding is available.

This is a full time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.
