• Manage domains, hosting environments, SSL certificates, redirects, and plugin updates.
• Integrate media tools into brand websites (podcast hosting platforms, streaming/recording tools).
• Oversee site performance, analytics dashboards (GA4), SEO basics, RSS feeds, and accessibility compliance.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues (uploads, site errors, content embedding).
• Maintain digital asset structure, backups, and version control.
• Collaborate on creative assets (graphics, thumbnails, templates) using Canva or similar tools.
