Creative Industries Partnership Manager (part-time, fixed-term post)
CAMERA’s research into the capability of technology and applications in Motion Capture, Digital Scanning, Avatar animation, VFX and the production of Virtual and Immersive Experiences requires a growing pool of Creative Industry Sector companies to experiment and trial ideas with.
As Creative Industries Partnership Manager you will cultivate relations with CI sector individuals, groups and companies operating nationally and in the West of England to support outcomes informed by our research and innovation offer, technical expertise and studio facilities.
An industry facing role, you will actively support the visibility and viability of CAMERA’s two studios in Bristol and Bath by instigating and sustaining partnered activity, with a remit to deliver against KPIs on current projects such as Creative Industries Clusters and My World as well as European Structural Investment targets.
This role will suit a self-starter who is able to contribute to the broader delivery team and aligns with overarching centre objectives. The CIPM will have a working knowledge of Creative Industry networks, sector activity and development opportunities in Bath and Bristol or similar region linked to creative and immersive content prototyping plus user engagement in these areas.
This is a part-time role (0.5 fte) for a fixed-term of 12 months.
