About The Position

As Director of the Fidelity Corporate Archives, you help set and implement the strategic vision for how the firm preserves, manages, and leverages its institutional memory and corporate history. You lead all aspects of the Archives’ operations — from acquisition, preservation, and description of physical and digital materials to developing modern systems and standards that ensure long‑term accessibility and organizational value. You serve as a strategic partner to business leaders across the enterprise, helping teams incorporate historical insight, records retention policies and archival research into senior leader decision‑making and help inform the historical context of enterprise initiatives. Your responsibilities may also include coordinating and overseeing materials and resources used by senior management in current strategic decision‑making and operational planning, including potential new collections developed and stored outside of the Archives. You also lead cross‑functional efforts involving the Corporate Archive’s Digital Asset Management System (DAMS), digital preservation workflows, metadata and taxonomy strategy, and integration with broader knowledge‑management and content management platforms across the company. You manage and develop an archival associate while ensuring the Archives maintain high standards of preservation, access, and service. You also play a lead role in bringing Fidelity’s history to audiences across the firm — including maintaining a library of stories and insights from Fidelity’s history to provide leaders with institutional knowledge that provides critical historical perspective to current and future strategic opportunities and challenges. You regularly present and coordinate historical insights to associates, executives, and external groups to deepen understanding of the firm’s legacy and culture.
