Back on our Bwog shit

If you’ve attempted to load Bwog on any phone, computer, or really anything at any point, you’ve probably noticed that our website is a little bit unique; it’s challenging both to navigate and to edit. As a result, we are constantly in need of CS experts to fight through the mess of our WordPress code and ensure we’re able to post our sweet, sweet content. And we are also constantly in need of business experts to help manage our ads and ensure we’re able to buy our sweet, sweet meeting snacks.

Tl;dr: Bwog is currently accepting applications for positions on the business and tech teams: Account Executives and System Administrators. Interested applicants should send their resumé and a brief statement of interest to james@bwog.com by 11:59PM on Friday, January 26. Applicants may apply for multiple positions. After receiving all applications, a small number of candidates will be interviewed for the positions, and the final decision will be made shortly afterwards.

An Account Executive’s responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining communication with existing clients
  • Sourcing new direct advertising sales leads
  • Scheduling advertising campaigns
  • Compiling analytical reports on advertising campaigns

A System Administrator’s responsibilities include:

  • An ability to learn quickly, untangle complicated systems, and track down hard-to-find bugs
  • Frontend development on the site’s WordPress theme
  • Extensive use and regular maintenance of a Linux server
  • Familiarity with any of the following is a plus: WordPress, PHP, HTML/CSS, NGINX, MySQL, Memcached, Redis.

The most crucial part of this application is a paragraph describing your past experience and qualifications for the job. Candidates should show that they are responsible, honest, self-motivated, and familiar with the culture of Bwog. Past involvement with Bwog or other publications would be a major asset, as would sales, marketing, and digital media experience. Technical skills and/or experience will also be a major asset to an application.

If you’re curious in learning more about these positions (or any other open positions on Bwog), come to our open meeting tonight at 9 pm!
