Allan Anderson’s Experience

Information Management Officer

Ministry of Social Development

(Individual & Family Services industry)

October 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
Product Development Manager

Firstlight ERA

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

July 2007 — October 2008 (1 year 4 months)

I started in Information Architecture and content management. Due to constant improvements to the existing system and an abundance of Ideas, I was chosen to lead the development of a Recruitment Advertising system.

For this project I performed research, analyzed usability and applied improvements which impacted other areas of the business. I maintained a trial statistics gathering program and managed relationships with publications and advertisers. I modified the existing system to perform the trial without involving developers, and managed the integration, design, and daily management of the system. I also drew up a user specification for the development of an improved and more permanent system.
