Web Manager

The Museum of Arts and Design seeks a talented and motivated technology expert to manage the Museum's online projects. The manager will be responsible for maintaining the museum's website, including helping to support Museum staff's use of the site CMS (Drupal) and doing site updates and upgrades. The manager will also work with education and curatorial staff to develop new online projects to support the Museum's exhibitions and programs. 

The candidate for this position should be excited by the challenge of maintaining and improving the technologies that are used by the hundreds of thousands of visitors that come to the Museum's websites every year. She/he is creative and must be able to work well with others, including non-technical colleagues. While the candidate need not have any formal training in graphic design, she/he should be able to recognize 'good design,' and should be ready to create well-designed work. All applicants should be prepared to share a strong, well-balanced portfolio.

The ideal candidate for this position has strong front-end web development skills (HTML/CSS/JS), and is also comfortable writing and maintaining PHP. Experience with Drupal and LAMP are real plusses, as is the ability to administer web servers from the command line.  Special consideration will be given to candidates that can demonstrate experience in creating their own works of web technology designed to engage users in some unique way.

This position offers a large amount of creative control and autonomy to the right candidate; it's a great chance to do very visible and prominent work as part of a growing cultural institution.

All applicants must have at least two years of working experience.  Interested candidates should send their resume, portfolio and salary requirements to info@madmuseum.org.
