RTÉ is Ireland's national public service media organisation. A leader in Irish media, RTÉ provides comprehensive, cost-effective, free-to-air multi-media services to the public in Ireland and interested audiences internationally.

RTÉ Archives house Ireland's largest audiovisual collection and are responsible for collecting, preserving, and making accessible the creative and documentary output of the national broadcaster. The collections include hundreds of thousands of hours of moving image and sound recordings, photographs, manuscripts, and administrative documents. The RTÉ Archives support RTÉ's multimedia services and serve as a resource for the wider creative media industry both in Ireland and abroad. They also collaborate with cultural partners and heritage institutions and support academic research and education. Access to RTÉ Archives, whether commercial or otherwise, fulfills a regulatory function.

- To participate in the overall development of the Archives when needed.

The main activities include, but are not limited to:

- Diligent data entry as required.
- Ingest activities and quality checks of digital content post-digitisation.
- Providing regular and proactive progress reports on all activities.
