My client is a multi-platform UK-based media Group consisting of many companies collected around two main divisions - Magazines and Radio - widely recognised and rewarded as being industry innovators.

Collectively, the Group employs some 6,400 people and has a 2007 turnover of 1.79 billion Euros.

They are now on the lookout for a mid level PHP back end developer to join the Central Web Team with skills in MySQL, experience in development of bespoke CMS Systems, knowledge of the Zend framework and Smarty. The team consists of 3 designers who are advanced in the HTML, CSS and design aspects, 1 content editor and the development manager so the need is really focused on the PHP back end and MySQL skills using a lot of RSS and XML feeds. Actionscript / Flash will also be required.

Essential skills: PHP, OO Programming, XML, RSS feeds, CMS, MySQL, ActionScript.

Desirable skills include: HTML, CSS, JavaScript all to W3C standards and accessibility standards.

You must have a commercial background of around 2 years preferrably in a media / digital environment

If you have worked on projects related to Itunes or on any flash based MP3 stream media this would be of huge benefit. Communication skills are vital in this type of environment as you will probably be liaising with other internal departments, agencies and sales people.

Great opportunity in a fun, vibrant environment with future training and future career progression encouraged internally.

We accept all applications irrespective of age, gender or religious persuasion.
