  • Reports to: Marketing, Communications & Digital Manager.

What you’ll be doing

  • Maintain and improve NTSU websites: content, design, feature set, and user data.

  • SharePoint (internal sites)
  • Moodle training site (support + upgrades)
  • Automation/integrations (APIs, workflow tools, process improvements)

What we’re looking for
