We’re Hiring!

JOB OPENING – Council for a Livable World and the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Outreach Coordinator

Council for a Livable World and the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation are seeking to hire an Outreach Coordinator, with a specific focus on organizing outreach trips across the United States and engaging online audiences and social networks.

Our “in person” outreach mission primarily revolves around the Center’s already active Outreach Program, which sends retired senior military officers and national security experts throughout the United States to engage local community leaders by speaking at events hosted by non-profit organizations, veterans groups, academic institutions, and giving media interviews to local media outlets. The goal of the program is to enhance opportunities for informed public debate on US security policy and empower citizens to engage in discussion and raise important national security issues with policy makers at every level. The Outreach Coordinator will be responsible for helping to organize these trips, including identifying and reaching out to local partner groups and institutions, setting up events, communicating with local media, and collaborating with partner organizations. The Outreach Coordinator will also travel on several of these trips.

Our “online” outreach mission is to take advantage of developments in online communications to reach out to our online supporters and to identify and cultivate new supporters. The Outreach Coordinator will collaborate with staff to enhance and coordinate blogging and online social networking operations already in motion, as well as be responsible for developing new initiatives and assisting in the maintenance of our websites.

The Outreach Coordinator will likely engage in the following activities:
–Research and identify local groups and institutions to host speaking events for retired senior military officers
–Act as liaison for Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation with local partner organizations to organize local speaking events
–Writing and promoting E-Appeals for online actions (letters, petitions, contributions etc)
–Maintaining our organizations’ presence on social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube.
–Posting informative articles and managing information on our websites
–Moderating discussion space on our websites
–Using social networking software to create and help organize local chapters
–Organizing local events like town hall meetings, district visits, and meetings with our staff and board
–Creating and organizing online events (online chats with staff, board members, political candidates, and other people of interest)
–Generating multimedia content for our websites (podcasts, videos)
–Tracking and responding to new communications trends and technologies

Preference will be given to candidates who have a strong interest in and experience in the following two subject areas:
–Grassroots organizing.
–Blogging, social networking, or so-called Web 2.0 communications

Candidates are expected to have the skills and experience to coordinate and set up speaking events for senior experts and support senior experts on travel as well as website maintenance and web standards.

Candidates should be outgoing, self-motivated, able to work in a fast-paced environment and be able to multi-task assignments. A B.A. or B.S. and excellent writing skills are required.

The Outreach Coordinator will work in close conjunction with the Chief Operating Officer, Executive Director, Director of Nuclear Non-Proliferation, and IT Director.

Salary depends on experience. A full benefits package is included.

Application Procedure

Email cover letter, resume, writing sample and two references by June 28 to jobs@armscontrolcenter.org.

Council for a Livable World and Center for Arms Control & Non-Proliferation are equal opportunity employers.
