Project Manager - California Digital Library

As a member of the California Digital Library's Shared Collections program, the Project Manager will be a primary contributor to CDL's current efforts to develop and implement project plans in two arenas: compliance with Department of Justice revised Title II of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) regulations for accessibility standards as they relate to the University Libraries' licensing of electronic resources, and the Systemwide OA Author Fund Pilot - a pilot project to fund open access (OA) publication fees in support of authors who wish to publish journal articles.

The Project Manager will develop a well-documented process for incorporating new DOJ Title II requirements into ongoing license negotiations, including drafting timelines, project plans, and documentation to enable efficient review and decision-making by stakeholders; communicating and reporting on project status; and interfacing with CDL Shared Collections licensing and electronic resource teams.

The Systemwide OA Author Fund Pilot project proposal has been approved and funded; the Project Manager will assist in building out the project plan and launching the pilot, in collaboration with three UC Libraries' systemwide teams and members of the CDL Shared Collections open access team.

Both project plans - DOJ Title II and the OA Author Fund Pilot - are expected to be multiyear in scope and will be passed off to the permanent service owners for ongoing development and operationalization.

The Project Manager position is a one-year contract position, eligible for a range of benefits. California residency is required, and candidates wishing to work onsite, hybrid, or fully remote (if living outside of reasonable commuting distance from Oakland, CA) will be considered. This position is not eligible for visa transfer or sponsorship.
