You've left out compensation information. Not a specific number, but a range.
So sorry, here it is:
CODE: 0822 PAY GRADE: 24
Salary: $37,544.00-$50,876.80 annually

This is difficult to interpret. You seem to put the emphasis on marketing, arts knowledge and interpersonal skills. There are few techies that also possess those skills. Would you consider a professional who has worked with computerized systems and is involved with the arts (and has the maturity and business skills)? Is the job using an already developed system (web site and database), with the available tools, or is it actually heavily weighted toward code writing?
I am asking for a friend, not for myself.
$50,876.80 would have to be the start for me to consider applying . but i don't think u even have that type of money .
