AASHE, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, is seeking applicants for two IT-related staff positions: a Web Developer and a Data Manager.

Web Developer

The Web Developer will support the IT Manager in delivering online services requested by AASHE staff, members and partners. Duties include:

• Develop/implement, test, optimize and document software components in a web-based environment, including interfaces for legacy and new systems.

• Limited web server management.
• Work with the IT Manager to create and maintain a development schedule for the staff and Board.

Supervision

The person in this position will work with AASHE’s IT Manager.

Profile

We need candidates who love to work in the web environment, and aren't afraid to jump into complex assignments or learn new systems.
