Teachers TV has experienced a significant rise in the number of website-related projects since the launch of the redesigned website in June 2009, and now needs a technical project manager/technical architect to work closely with the Head of Technology to provide project management and technical scoping and to act as the primary interface between Teachers TV in the UK and the development team based in Bangkok, Thailand.
