Project Coordinator

Vivid Projects is seeking a Project Coordinator to manage delivery of the public engagement and professional development programme for the Birmingham Media Archive Project: The First Decade (BMAP), a project which will increase access to archival material with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding funds from the National Lottery. This is the first phase of an ambitious initiative to deepen access to Birmingham’s under-recognised media collectives and screen heritage. The project will support a cohort of six professional creative placements alongside providing opportunities for volunteers, building the skills pool for a future public-facing ‘videotheque’ resource to provide a lasting framework for inclusive engagement.

The Project Coordinator will report to the Director and work alongside facilitators and partners across Birmingham. The post involves coordinating professional development workshops, community learning and screenings, and archival research that celebrates and shares Birmingham’s screen and media heritage through inclusive, community-driven activity. Coordination of the learning programme and public engagement will include responsibility for participant communications, activity scheduling, participant contracting, logistics, data collection, and financial administration.

You will ensure the effective delivery of workshops, exhibition resources, and digital outputs across community sites, supporting the Director and Archive Facilitator to realise the project’s public-facing aims.

You will be based at Vivid Projects in Digbeth, Birmingham alongside attendance at offsite workshop venues. Some evening/weekend work will be required in line with the project delivery activities. The core project delivery period is January-April 2026 with development and evaluation days in December and May.

The Project Coordinator post has been funded with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.
