As the Intranet Curator you will be the primary owner of the technology and content that connects our business. Just as a museum curator's job is part technical, part creative and part personal, so too is the job of running a successful intranet. Day-to-day, you will coordinate with leaders across the organization, project manage a steady drumbeat of engaging news, maintain the intranet's visual design, work with site owners and content contributors across the organization, monitor analytics to gauge what content is working, and hold the keys to the intranet's core administration. Most importantly, you will build your company's “virtual headquarters”, a place that connects employees, keeps your organization transparent, and engages all employees in what matters most.
Responsibilities
MAINTAIN THE INTRANET'S CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION: Being a curator for our Igloo intranet is easy and doesn't require technical skills. As the intranet manager, you will have the ability to edit and create content, send newsletters, manage user access, maintain branding and design, and determine what content is front page news.
