<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Open Repository is a service from BioMed Central to build, launch, host and maintain institutional repositories for organisations. Built upon the latest DSpace repository software the service has been designed to be flexible and cost-effective. BioMed Central's economy of scale makes it possible for organisations that could not otherwise afford to, or lack the infrastructure or technical capacity in-house to run their own repositories.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">BioMed Central is an independent publishing house committed to providing immediate free access to peer-reviewed scientific, technical and medical research.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As the Open Repository Service Manager you will help organisations build and launch their own institutional repositories; developing strong working relationships with our customers, acting as a first point of call for questions and areas of concern, and understanding and managing their needs and requirements. You will also understand the technical requirements for hosting and maintaining the service, and support the relevant IT support teams where necessary.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">You will make sense of, analyze and prioritise: business requirements, customer requirements, developments in institutional repository software and related fields (such as digital preservation and metadata standards), and developments within DSpace software specifically. You will work with the project technical architect to create short-term and long-term project roadmaps.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">You will lead the project planning and work closely with the Business Development Manager, sales and marketing teams, OR Architects, DSpace community, and new and established customers. The role is customer facing and requires occasional travel to meetings, conferences and clients.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Most importantly, you will possess strong project management and communication skills, be highly organised with developed people management and customer service skills.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Start date: As soon as possible.</FONT>
