We are looking for a Website Operations Officer to manage the operation of the Buzz website, our website for deaf young people, and any related digital products.
The role will sit within the new Website Operations team which is focussed on developing and maintaining the charity's digital storefront, including the main website and Buzz.
As Website Operations officer you will be responsible both for the day-to-day operation of the Buzz website as well as the longer term development of new functionality to help us better meet the needs of our audiences.
The Buzz was developed for deaf young people aged 8 to 18 in the UK. It is a safe, online space, where a lot of the content is created by deaf young people. It features inspiring stories and events. Deaf young people 13 and over can also sign up to the Buzz Club and access the members' only areas where they can create customised avatars and post their own content.
Part of the Website Operations Officer's role will be supporting the Head of Website Operations and the Buzz product team to plan and execute a programme of enhancements to the site based on insight from a range of analytics tools and testing with our users. Some experience with user testing, particularly with young people, and a knowledge of website analytics would be an advantage.
To be successful in the role you will have experience in planning and delivering site enhancements. We use agile methods, principally Scrum, to deliver our projects and products, so some experience with agile delivery is desirable.
Currently development services are provided by external suppliers so you must have experience working with suppliers. This will include co-ordinating delivery schedules for site enhancements, managing bug fixes and UAT of the site changes before they go live.
As Website Operations Officer you will be responsible for the Buzz Content Management System (CMS), assigning roles to other users and troubleshooting issues raised by our team of internal content providers. You will also provide training to other staff on the CMS once you are familiar with it. We currently use MODX as our CMS for the Buzz. Previous experience using a CMS is required for the role.
We encourage applications from all backgrounds and are committed to creating an organisation that is made up of staff with diverse skills, experiences and abilities.
To apply for this role, you will have to select the apply button shown complete an online application and specify how you meet the person specification criteria, as outlined in the job description.
