Work for us

Digital Manager (0.8 FTE)

Are you a digital project leader who wants to be part of making positive change in Aotearoa?

The Drug Foundation is looking for an experienced and energetic Digital Manager. We’re looking for a project management and UX/UI expert – someone who can think strategically, wrangle ideas from across the organisation into prioritised technical requirements, and own the development of digital platforms and tools that reduce drug harm.

You might have a background in UX/UI, product ownership, or digital design. The key thing is you’ll have a user- and human-centric view of creating digital products, and be at home translating big and fuzzy ideas into sharp specifics that a developer can pick up and run with.

We pride ourselves on having a friendly, supportive and genuine culture where we treat each other as people first. The work environment is fun and collaborative, and you’ll be part of a tight-knit comms team that keeps in constant contact with the rest of the organisation

This role has overall responsibility for the development and maintenance of our growing suite of digital platforms, in partnership with our external developers – from conception, briefing and scoping, through to procurement, design, build and testing.

You will have an ability to think about the big picture when working on the detail, developing a deep understanding of our mission, values, voice, and priorities and how your work fits within them.

Your work will be at the forefront of our mission to see an Aotearoa free from drug harm, supporting projects including The Level, our platform for straight-up drug information; Tūturu, our approach to improving student wellbeing by connecting schools and health providers; our drug checking service; and Living Sober, an online community for people who want to change their relationship with alcohol. It’s exciting, dynamic and cutting-edge work in an organisation with a supportive and fun culture.

As a champion for data-driven decision making, you’ll be our main set of eyes across our analytics and use insights to keep our platforms user-centric. You’ll also own and maintain much of our internal digital tooling, including our CRM and AI tools.

You will ensure our platforms are accessible and reaching diverse communities. In particular, you will ensure we are reaching Māori communities, and shape your work within a Tiriti o Waitangi framework.

As a Digital Manager, you’ll be proactive at spotting opportunities to improve our digital practice and will keep a finger on the pulse of best practice.

We’re looking for someone who is collaborative, culturally competent and enjoys turning complex needs into clear, prioritised work.
