Day-to-day operating brief

What Records Manager (Corporate) work looks like in practice

A Corporate Records Manager designs and operates policies for business records across paper and digital systems. Terms should cover classification, retention schedules, owners, shared drives, business applications, legal holds, disposal, archives, acquisitions, audits, training and change projects. The manager should not authorise destruction where a hold or investigation applies, treat backup deletion as records disposal or impose classifications without understanding business context and regulatory need. System decommissioning should map record ownership, export format, metadata, holds and future retrieval before licences or servers end. Retention triggers such as contract termination, employee departure or case closure need measurable source events; a vague instruction to keep files for several years cannot be automated defensibly. Disposition work should document the authority for deletion or transfer and pause routine action when a legal hold, complaint or investigation applies. Disposal evidence must be sufficient to show what series was affected without retaining the records themselves.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Maintain record policy and schedules.
Map systems owners and record classes.
Coordinate holds transfers and disposal.
Audit compliance and remediate gaps.
Train staff and advise change projects.

A realistic working scenario

A scheduled deletion includes records relevant to a new claim, so the manager suspends disposal and maps the hold across every affected system.
