Digital Manager

£31,838 Based Edinburgh

In this new post, which was created following a restructure, you’ll join our digital team – which has recently been tasked with the complete overhaul of the Shelter Scotland website. You’ll be central to this process, while also developing and managing all the team’s other activities – including social networking, audio-visual and brand development.

You’ll also help us co-ordinate online marketing, develop content streaming so we can share our information with other sites, and analyse our web usage statistics and user feedback.

You’ll need experience of successfully developing online and digital platforms in support of an organisation’s corporate goals – during this time, you’ll have grown accustomed to working in line with brand guidelines. You’ll also need the proven ability to manage a wide range of online communications, including large information-based websites.

It’s important that you’re right up-to-date with social media tools and techniques, as well as with digital audio-visual, multimedia design and web publishing processes. Finally, you’ll be able to recommend solutions that meet the needs of a diverse audience and enhance our presence online.
