Technology is at the heart of what we do and how we do it. You will be expected to quickly learn new technologies and drive new ways of using technology to help our small team work efficiently.

Experience with the following applications is not required, but would be an advantage:

• Google Workspace (Mail, Chat, Docs)

• Zoom, Google Hangouts

• Stripe, Xero

• Google Looker / Big Query

• The A Good Thing app, naturally!

How we work

This is a part-time role, but in order to support daily activity on the app, we require someone who can be flexible and spread their working hours across a five-day week.

We are a *fully-remote* organisation, meeting regularly on video calls and using messaging (Google Chat) day-to-day. We love to get together for events when we can.

We look forward to hearing from you!
