Web and Social Media Manager

Work from Home Anywhere in Australia!

Would you like to join our small team by taking up this challenging and highly varied role?

We’re looking for a part time permanent employee, initially 12 hours per week, who is able to work from home.

We are a small family owned business based in Mt St Thomas NSW but doing business with clients across Australia and beyond. You could live anywhere in Australia to do this role, although our first preference would be in the Australian Eastern Time Zone.

You would be joining a friendly, experienced team of just three people, two of whom are part time. Your role is a new position, which will grow our team to four.

This role represents an opportunity to get in at the ground floor of our business that’s only just turned one year old, but is built upon the foundations of a similar business that we founded and developed for 25 years before successfully selling to a major media company. Therefore within our team we have a deep level of experience and relevant industry connections.

You would be helping manage three websites and their related social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube). We have focussed upon these three because they best fit our B2B focus and more senior audience demographic.

The sites are:

www.latzbusinesscoaching.com.au
www.thelatzreport.com.au
www.micromobilityreport.com.au

As you will see if you look at the sites, the first one relates to business coaching services and the other two are specialist B2B media sites relating to cycling and micromobility. We also offer some consulting and related services within our industry niche.

This position reports to our Administration Manger.
