Web Development Lead

Web Development Lead

Introduction & Background

Ängsbacka is a complex organization that runs festival and events for several thousand people annually, alongside being a mostly volunteer driven organization and an on-site all year community. It is a non-profit organization owned by its members.

Ängsbacka currently runs mostly on a disparate ecosystem of isolated and un-coordinated software systems and business processes that do not leverage the benefits of modern software architecture and integration.

At its core ÄB is operated by a series of Google Docs, some of which are wired together in a rube goldbergian way, with “automations” and scripts.

The website, booking system, café, POS, finance and other major components of the organization’s operations lack integration. Additionally, ÄB lacks any type of inventory management, CRM, or HR software.

There appears to be a clear need for a new division within the organization that can research, measure, architect and implement solutions to provide the efficiency and integration needed.

Organization & Challenges

Ängsbacka, during 2024, is expected to grow with 40% and we need infrastructure to support this growth. The current systems will not be able to sustain and support that level of participants/customers.

Currently we have a few departments that together, out of necessity, are bridging an organizational gap; Marketing/Sales, Booking Office, Café, Course & Festival Management and hardware IT.

The task is to clearly organize each of these departments’ responsibilities, and at the same time create a new department called the Software Development Department which will have specific competence in specialized areas where the organization could leverage software to increase efficiency, and relieve a lot of unnecessary manual labor to make things barely work.

Generally, Marketing would focus on the communication with the public at large, IT would focus on hardware and physical systems, and RDD would focus on research, metric evaluation, business intelligence, systems development, programming, and implementation of new systems.
