Rottnest Island needs CIO

in brief The authority which oversees Rottnest Island, near Fremantle in Western Australia, has advertised for a new chief information officer, allocating a salary of up to $88,131.

Rottnest Island is an important holiday destination, a former prison and a current wildlife preserve which attracts up to 500,000 visitors a year. It is overseen by the Rottnest Island Authority, a Fremantle-based body with approximately 117 staff.

Authority officials did not immediately return calls, and it is not known whether the position is a new one. The appointed CIO will be based in Fremantle but will travel regularly to the island, with the authority looking for an IT executive with both strategic and operational technology management experience.

    Do you get a pet Quokka as part of the package?

    Low Pay but other Perks may impress... Anonymous -- 09/09/08

    They are hoping the successful candidate will look beyond the lack of salary because of the other perks included such as visiting the island often and having 1 quokka named after them which they only tell you about in the interview.

    The salary must be a misprint right ?
