SUMMARY

The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) seeks a motivated, detail-oriented, self-starting individual to manage our website and online community and be a key member of our marketing communications team.

The NAfME Web Manager is primarily responsible for maintaining and managing the content and function of the NAfME website and online community and for taking full advantage of the capabilities of our sites to help meet strategic goals for growth and engagement.

The position supports other web-based platforms such as event registration, job center, and digital publications.

The NAfME Web Manager will ideally combine knowledge of Wordpress, experience with websites featuring custom post types, a record of successful website management including user experience/testing, and the desire to work closely and collaboratively with staff colleagues to make our website the most valuable destination online for music educators.
