Our Vision: Better Care for More Collections

We’re looking for a talented and highly driven collection care professional to liaise with conservation, preservation, and collections colleagues. If you love preventive conservation and have a history of coordinating with professionals across the galleries/libraries/archives/museum field, we want you on our team! As the Conservation Liaison you’ll be responsible for creating educational preventive conservation content and product messaging to share across our social channels. You will also be speaking with collections professionals in institutions of every size and budget from across the world and helping them with setting up monitoring programs while using our software and sensors. We are looking for people who are eager to listen to the needs of collection professionals and provide feedback to our product team to create exceptional preventive conservation tools. This is a startup with a small team that is extremely time-demanding but incredibly rewarding.

Required Skills:

• Knowledge in preservation, conservation, and/or collections care with a specific emphasis on preventive conservation (environmental monitoring, integrated pest management, and emergency preparedness)
• Passion for innovating and building better tools for collection preservation professionals
• A+ listening to deeply understand preservation professionals’ needs

• Experience with Hubspot or other CRM software

Our Mission:

There are millions of people around the world committed to preserving our cultural heritage - in libraries, museums, archives, historic properties, storage and private collections. This community is focused on preservation -- the process of identifying and minimizing risks to collections arising from the environment, pests, theft, and other agents of deterioration. Because current preservation tools are inadequate - too hard to use (not built for us) and too expensive (not a good value) - important elements of our cultural heritage are at risk.

Conserv exists to increase access to quality preventive conservation technology. We are making big investments in hardware and software to enable cultural heritage professionals to more easily prevent damage to collections. We believe that preventive conservation is the sustainable way forward for preservation.

Conserv exists to listen and respond to the needs of collections care professionals. We are designing products to support professionals from diverse backgrounds at collections of all shapes, sizes, and budgets. Our tools reflect a belief in progress over perfection for every collection.

Conserv exists to support preservation research and commercialization efforts. Working with our customers, we’re developing shared datasets that will empower preservation researchers to ask new questions. And we’re partnering with researchers to ensure that the best ideas turn into practical applications for collections around the world. We’re a force multiplier for preservation research projects.

Conserv exists to further the mission of the collections we serve. We are helping tell the stories of our partners - incredibly interesting people doing important work. We believe that our success starts with the success of the people we serve. We aim to be a preservation partner, not just another vendor.

Conserv is now evolving from an environmental monitoring tool into a complete platform for preventive conservation work. Over the next few years we’re developing tools for pest management, disaster planning and recovery, predictive modeling, fractional conservation services, and a virtual courier offering.

These are our ambitious projects to re-shape what’s possible for preservation professionals. The old constraints are gone. Conserv is a company completely focused on collections with a team that can deliver. We’re looking forward to building whatever we can dream up together.

Best,

Austin Senseman, CEO
