Bad timing: Treasury looking for new web editor

Treasury's online team has come in for a pasting over the past couple of days, and again this morning as Police said there was nothing unlawful about the Budget 2019 "hack".

Police say it was simply someone running simple searches of the agency's website in case material was made live late at night in a test (or, as it transpired, the creation of a clone or backup site).

Those who think they could be a better job can now put their money where their mouth is.

Treasury posted an ad for a Web Editor on LinkedIn on Monday before the leak became public knowledge.

The successful applicant will "know what good looks like," the ad says.

The job calls for a "skilled professional" who will "Work with a variety of teams annually to prepare Budget updates for both the Treasury and Budget websites" in support of Treasury and the DPMC (Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet).

Geeks will be interested to know the role involves work across a range of content management systems including Drupal, SilverStripe and Microsoft SharePoint

If that sounds like your bag, you're in with a shot. According to LinkedIn, there have so far been only seven applicants.
