Technical Director Wanted - Partner Opportunity - Calgary
Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 10:14 am
Established Technical company looking for experienced Technical Director.
Looking for someone who can handle internal projects as well as our clients needs.
Experience you must have: PHP, SQL, CMS(joomla), Server Admin/security, database, e-com, design etc.
Must be familiar with Open source and SEO as we're at the top in google, and I intend to stay there.
Our Flagship site focuses on business to business services, and is also well established with 700,000 pages/month average, currently running on multiple servers. One of the largest Canadian sites in our industry.. The site itself started as a hobby, and I've been 'pecking away' at it for years. But I think it's time that someone took it on seriously and made the jump from hobby site to full blown commercial enterprise. The market is there, the plans are in place.. I just need to find the right technician to do it.
I have talked to several people already regarding this project, and the consensus I've received so far, is that the project is simply too big for 1 person. The site as it sits contains over 40,000 pages, with active ecommerce, job boards, forums, industry calculators, classifieds, business to business services, etc.
As the company has been incorporated for over 5 years now, the corporate structure has always been as follows: I'm the admin, and deal with the business side of things, including marketing, sales, legal and other corporate trivialities. The technical director deals with the technology, simple as that. Should the tech director not have the skill, ability, or manpower to accomplish each of these goals on his/her own, it would then be their responsibility to create a team, or outsource as necessary to complete the task.
In addition to our flagship site, we also have 25+ domains that are ready for development, along with a growing clientele from within our chosen industry.
So, if you think you have what it takes to fill a position like this, I would love to hear from you.
