Purple Sneakers is one of Australia’s most prominent niche music blogs. The site’s mission is to solely feature what we call ‘emerging club music’ from around the world. Our mission is to feature new music and artists that we feel passionate about.

The successful candidate for this position will have responsibilities including:

  • Editing content for the site;

  • Managing our contributor team;
