Sydney based Website Producer position.

Primarily working on: www.xbox.com.au

Due to the rigours of the role, candidates that apply should first make sure they are up to the task:

Reporting is also a key area of the role, meaning you work closely with a variety of content providers and internal departments within Microsoft - at times creating content ? copy, graphics and rich media.

Attention to detail, excellent written communication and design skills are essential to this position (as are Visio skills) ? Your knowledge of the console gaming industry, and a passion for playing is definitely a plus, as it will help you to maintain a strategic plan for the site as well as keeping the visuals consistent with what is expected of a top gaming site today.



Additional experience that will help in the role is having worked within a CMS environment previously, as well as having dabbled in Photoshop, Illustrator and/or Flash to create designs.
