• Digital Archive Management: Organize and maintain the TRPA digital asset vault. You will ensure that high-resolution photography and video from our restoration sorties are professionally cataloged and ready for institutional use.
• E-Commerce & Donation Integration: Assist the Brand Department in the technical upkeep of our digital storefront and donation portals, ensuring frictionless transactions for our supporters and sneakerheads alike.
• Search & Analytics Oversight: Monitor SEO performance and digital engagement metrics, providing the Director with data-driven insights to help expand TRPA’s reach.

Professional Requirements

• Content Creation Skills: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Lightroom and Premiere) or high-end mobile editing suites to maintain our "Industrial Power" visual standard.
• Organizational Discipline: The ability to manage a "Digital Archive" with museum-grade precision.
• Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a departmental structure, taking strategic cues from leadership and turning them into a high-performance digital reality.
• Mission Alignment: A genuine interest in Texas industrial history and a desire to use your digital skills to bring the SP 982 back to the public eye.
