We are looking for someone to provide support to members, primarily on issues of content management, SEO and web design. And also IT support to LINA to implement software systems, integration and automation.

About the team

You will be working closely with the Executive Director and industry partners in a small, developing team. LINA is also recruiting for a Project Officer to complete our establishing crew. LINA receives administrative support for book-keeping, administrative and data reporting activities.

The ideal candidate will be an innovative thinker, ready to bring problem-solving skills to support LINA and its members. You have an eye for good website design and can implement new functionality across a broad range of CMS platforms, particularly Drupal and Wordpress. You can develop best practice examples and support LINA members to implement extensions and additions to grow their audience engagement and revenue opportunities. You are good at connecting systems to create efficiencies. Familiarity with Salesforce, Airtable, Slack, PowerBI and Squiz Matrix is an advantage in fulfilling IT support requirements for LINA.
