The Manager of Online services will truly determine WTMD's future. You'll redesign the site, coordinate our e-newsletter, stage on-line contests, oversee our streaming content, edit and produce our podcasts, identify and pursue digital programming rights, traffic on-line underwriting and anything else you can think of that will enhance how our listeners interact with the station. You'll have significant and immediate impact on our operations and listenership.
We're looking for an energetic, music and internet lover who wants to meld these two passions into something revolutionary for WTMD.
You don't have to be an expert in every aspect of the net, but you should be able to design and code static pages and incorporate scripting to automate many of our sections.

Most of all, enthusiasm, a desire to do more and more, and the intuition to anticipate listener behavior is key.
