After several years of amazing service and dedication, @Qamra Daielin has decided it is time to step down from her role as Director and deal with that monster that is real life. Thank you for everything you have done to upgrade and streamline the site. I don’t know how we could have managed it without your skill.

With Qamra stepping down, we are in need of a Director of Technology. This position is a Director, and as such is an Executive who reports directly to the Keeper of the Chronicles. Whoever fills this position is responsible for meeting the technical needs of the administration and community including keeping our message boards, website, and Discord functional, among others.

Please note that many of these items are not firm requirements. Some can be worked around, some can be accepted if you are willing to learn the skills lacking. If you have tech skills, are trustworthy, can be available regularly, and have an interest in serving, please go ahead and apply. If you have questions about the technical side of things, please feel free to contact @Qamra Daielin or @Erin al'Denael.

Duties and Responsibilities:


  • Serve as an Executive and give advice to the Keeper and Amyrlin both in your Department and on site-wide issues as needed
  • Project management for all technical aspects relating to our site and boards and act as a supervisor for Department staff, including handling personnel issues such as disputes, hiring, firing, etc.
  • Come up with and implement new technical ideas for the community
  • Oversee our server and discord administration
Requirements:

  • Must be a Senior Member for at least one year and must be a member in good standing
  • Must be trustworthy, organized and a self-starter
  • Must have knowledge of technologies necessary to operate our website, including website (xenforo), library (CMS), discord, and server maintenance
  • Must be able to recruit and train technical talent; must be able to assign tasks to staff members and make sure they are completed. The ideal candidate is one who can manage and communicate with our technical staff in working towards ongoing site improvement; an ability and willingness to learn what you do not already know, plus strong leadership skills, is a must.
  • Must be able to spot areas that are in need of improvement and come up with solutions/recommendations
  • Must be willing and able to spend 15 hours a week or more handling Department and technical issues.
  • Must be able to respond to requests from other Directors/admins in a timely manner.
While not required, prior experience in the Department of Technology is a plus.

If you feel like you would be a good fit for this position, please send an email to technology@tarvalon.net , keeper@tarvalon.net and amyrlin@tarvalon.net with the title APPLICATION--DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY--YOUR NAME HERE. Your email should include why you think you would be a good fit, any ideas you have for the Department and a summary of applicable skills. Applications are due no later than November 21, 2025.
