● Maintain clean and accurate email lists.

● Track basic newsletter performance such as open rates, click-throughs and engagement.

● Repurpose existing website and social media content for email campaigns.

We actively want to use AI to make the business more efficient.

This person does not need to be an AI developer, but they should be confident using AI tools and interested in finding practical ways to integrate them into everyday business processes.

● Use AI tools to assist with social media content and content repurposing.

● Rotorua Combos' website and social channels being actively maintained and developed.

● Newsletters being produced and sent consistently.

● Emails, invoicing and data-entry tasks being completed accurately and on time.

● Simple repetitive tasks beginning to be streamlined through AI and automation.
