We are looking for an equally ambitious and highly motivated individual to support and coordinate the development and growth of this exciting new venture.

A passion for and knowledge of the digital technology industry is a must, as you will research and maintain the development of our membership base of digital tech organisations to share best practice and promote the value of the digital tech community in our region.

As the Operations and Marketing Coordinator you will provide general administrative support to the Tech East team and Board, ensuring enquiries are managed effectively and enabling the smooth delivery of the initiative.

Comfortable working to tight deadlines, you will be required to respond to enquiries regarding Tech East, inputting and extracting information and producing documents and reports. An eye for detail and high levels of accuracy are needed as you will be managing the CRM system and data to underpin an online membership directory of digital tech companies.

With wide experience of administrative duties as well as a confident and pro-active approach, you will be reporting to the Tech East Chief Operating Officer and Board to deliver the initiative that celebrates and supports local digital technology businesses.
