Hybrid working practices in place. Reporting directly into the COO this is the lead role for Information Technology About Our Client The Courtauld works to advance how we see and understand the visual arts, as an internationally-renowned centre for the teaching, research of art history and a major public gallery. Since 1932, The Courtauld has been opening minds and hearts to art through our work as a world-leading university for art history, conservation, and curating, with a very special gallery at its core. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to our gallery, our undergraduate and graduate courses, our research programmes, and our public lectures and events - fulfilling our founding mission to enable 'art for all'. Founded by collectors and philanthropists in the 1930s, the organisation has been at the forefront of the study of art ever since, through advanced research and conservation practice, innovative teaching, the renowned collection and inspiring exhibitions of its gallery, and engaging and accessible activities, education, and events. Academically, The Courtauld faculty is the largest community of art historians and conservators in the UK, teaching and carrying out research on subjects from creativity in late Antiquity to contemporary digital art forms, with an increasingly global focus. An independent college of the University of London, The Courtauld offers a range of degree programmes from BA to PhD in the History of Art, curating, and the conservation of easel and wall paintings. Its alumni are leaders and innovators in the arts, culture, and business worlds, helping to shape the global agenda for the arts and creative industries. The Courtauld cares for one of the greatest art collections in the UK, sharing these works with the public at The Courtauld Gallery in central London, as well as through loans and partnerships. The Gallery is most famous for its iconic Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, such as Van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Berg re. It showcases these alongside an internationally renowned collection of works from the Renaissance through to the present day. Founded on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with art, The Courtauld works to increase understanding of the role played by art throughout history, in all societies, and across all geographies, as well as being a champion for the importance of art in the present day. This could be through exhibitions offering a chance to look closely at world-famous works; accessible and expert short courses; events bringing art history research to new audiences; digital engagement, innovative school, family, and community programmes; or taking a formal qualification.
