Web Team Leader

Volunteer Leader for the Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) Web Team

Do you have experience with WordPress and website development?

Would you like to help make our cities more sustainable?

Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is looking for a leader of a team managing one national and

four local websites. A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) uses information and projects to engage people

in sustainability, in urban and surrounding rural areas of a city. The national website

(https://BioEcoCity.org) explains this approach.

BACKGROUND

BECC has developed BEC initiatives in four cities. Local websites (Toronto.BioEcoCity.org,

Brampton.BioEcoCity.org, Edmonton.BioEcoCity.org, and Vancouver.BioEcoCity.org) describe

BEC projects in these cities. BECC also liaises with a fifth pre-existing BEC initiative (Ottawa

BEC).

The BECC web team currently has eight members. A web developer for each local site adds and

formats content. Also, for each local site, another person posts project descriptions for a

database of sustainability projects. Recent updates have been made only to the local websites.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

The web team leader would coordinate the web team in the following ways:

 Communicate with team members through email or other means

 Liaise with BEC project leaders to help direct content to website developers

 Help team members to resolve programming issues, when needed

 Promote a similar, but not identical, style among the websites

 Assist with interviews of potential new team members

EXPECTATIONS FOR THE CANDIDATE

The candidate would need experience with WordPress, HTML and CSS. Also needed is the

ability to organize and coordinate tasks. Experience leading a team or project would be an

asset. The work would be remote with an expected time commitment 3-4 hours per week for

six months.

HOW TO APPLY

We can organize an online interview at a time convenient to you. Please send a letter of

interest or a resumé to Emad@BioEcoCity.org
