As a chief registrar, you will implement policies and procedures to ensure compliance with museum standards regarding the care of works on loan and in collections. You will plan, prioritize, and schedule workloads with the collection manager to ensure proper documentation of the museum collection. You will supervise data entry standards and updates in the collections management system, The Museum System (TMS), as well as in physical files. You will develop, implement, and manage the storage and inventory of exhibition mannequins, act as a courier for traveling exhibitions and museum loans, and coordinate with the SCAD facilities team to maintain museum standards. Additionally, you will oversee exhibition registration details, including reviewing exhibition and artist contracts and negotiating loan agreements, insurance, and courier services.
In this role, you will collaborate with the head registrar on responsibilities related to shipping, insurance, conditioning, travel, and storage. You will ensure the safe and secure movement of objects, which includes packing, shipping, security measures, insurance, and recording their locations.

You will handle all shipment paperwork, coordinate crates, manage logistics, and arrange for couriers. Additionally, you will guarantee safe storage through optimal crating and shipping practices, maintain up-to-date insurance values—contacting the insurance office in case of an incident—and conduct periodic inventory checks of the collection.
In this position, you will collaborate closely with legal counsel on loan agreements, generate, update, and maintain facility reports for all exhibition sites, track processes, and manage payments to shipping and storage vendors. You will maintain contact with lenders and venues, create a database for all forms to input records, work with the collections manager to update care and management policies for review and approval, and generate policies based on current best practices for collections. You will monitor the work on display and in storage through condition checks to document changes. Additionally, you will engage in professional development and professional associations.
