AVPreserve is currently accepting applications for the role
of Senior Consultant. Senior Consultants at AVPreserve are the face of the
company, responsible for using their expertise and all available resources to
contribute to envisioning, formulating, planning, synthesizing, and
implementing strategies and solutions in alignment with the goals and
objectives of our clients and the AVPreserve vision. Senior Consultants are
responsible for identifying opportunities for AVPreserve to support the goals
and objectives of past, present and prospective clients, and are also expected
to be a leader in the company, mentoring and developing AVPreserve staff and
providing support on AVPreserve projects where needed, as well as a knowledge

improvement that supports and motivates constant growth. You will be
contributing to the continued evolution of AVPreserve at an exciting time for

About AVPreserve

AVPreserve is a consulting and software development firm focused on leveraging
a deep understanding of technology, information management, business, and
people to advance the ways in which information is used for the benefit of
individuals, organizations, and causes. Our team consists of internationally
recognized experts with years of experience working with academic, media and
entertainment, government, museum, broadcast, and corporate organizations.

  
While the founding of AVPreserve was rooted in audiovisual media, and our
expertise in this area is advantageous in many ways, most of our projects
involve mixed media collections that span all media types across physical and
digital domains. Similarly, our original focus on archives and preservation
has been extremely useful in developing effective strategies for the
management of media and metadata, but today we work with organizations of all
types that are concerned with the searchability, distribution, and access to
assets, whether in an archival, production, or broadcast environment.

  
AVPreserve has locations in Brooklyn, New York and Madison, Wisconsin.
Candidates should live in the U.S., but are not required to live or relocate
to one of these locations. However, daily video conferencing and messaging
with team members, and regular visits to the New York office are required.
