About the Opportunity
The Digital Engagement Producer works as part of SLV LAB, a new prototyping and innovation lab at State Library Victoria. The role is responsible for engaging visitors and audiences with the Library's digital R&D (research & development) by producing innovative online content and events.

No coding skills are required, however you will need to be comfortable working with multidisciplinary specialist teams including technologists and software developers, designers, librarians and information management specialists. The role also leads development of innovative and accessible ways to engage audiences and communities with Library R&D projects through creative communication of research.

Engaging online audiences in the activities of the Lab is a key component of the role.

This is a mid-career opportunity where a background in science or technology communication is likely to be beneficial to your success in the role, as would creative / content producer experience.
In addition, you will come to us with:
* Demonstrated industry experience in hands-on digital content production.
* Experience creating accessible content for the web. (Experience working on projects promoting accessible and inclusive practices is desirable).
* Demonstrated capability in project coordination (preferably in digital content development, AV production, or podcast development).
