____________________________________

Get a move on – this just-found Policy Officer job with the Office of National Intelligence closes today, Mar. 9 – job ID 18560 - $102k-$153k. They don’t sound like the deadline-extending kind of folks.

Volunteers of America
seeks an experienced GR professional to serve as Vice President of Public Policy – a job we previously referenced in December. However, it appears to have been “modified Mar. 1” (you’ll see that if you poke around) – so perhaps it’s still fresh. Also available: Admin Assistant, Volunteer Services & Public Policy.

The Constitution Project is looking for a Director of Communications & Outreach. Requirements include communications, advocacy, or legislative experience; strong writing skills; criminal justice or national security, background, and a bipartisan outlook. Law or other postgrad degree a plus.

Two new web/IT oriented opportunities with Georgetown University:
VeriSign is looking for an Office Manager for their Government Relations Office – search job ID IRC130570 or Washington, DC office location. They may also have a Corporate Communications Senior Manager (search job ID # IRC129921 or Dulles, Va. location) position available, but that listing could be out of date. Also a Director of Corporate Communications job available in Mountain View, CA (IRC130676).

The Environmental Defense Fund would like to hire a Managing Director, Regional Programs to oversee ocean-related policy issues. Ph.D., MBA, or other graduate degree and professional standing in a discipline related to environmental science, law or policy is strongly preferred. Fundraising experience/ability also desired. A Senior Policy Specialist for the Oceans Program is also sought.

College Summit is a nonprofit dedicated to the success of low income students. Their next (or maybe first) Public Policy Director (note: pdf link) will spearhead their policy aims, as part of their new strategic plan.

Search DC location or job ID 1182 to find the Media Communications Director position with Syngenta. Knowledge of the agricultural chemistry issue is a plus – and good chemistry with your media colleagues back in the Basel, Switzerland office is also important.

Communications equipment maker and government contractor Harris Corporation would like to add a Marketing Communications Manager to the team. Winning hire will manage communications initiatives including trade shows, special events, PR/media, executive communications, advertising, web content/promotion, and direct mail.

The American Diabetes Association needs a Senior Director of Development. Ten years fundraising experience and success in grant seeking, annual giving, major and planned gifts, and/or corporate giving should be on your resume.

Fidelity Investments seeks a Director, Policy Research (search job number 0900388). You’ll track legislative issues and developments, monitor policy aims and efforts of other organizations, and otherwise assist the federal & state government affairs team by developing presentation materials, issue briefs, talking points, charts, memos, white papers, and the like.

You’ll have to figure this one out for yourself; your duties are essentially TBA as of this writing – WECC Senior Communications Specialist for George Washington Medical Faulty Associates. The good news – they can’t say you’re not qualified!

Multiple opportunities available – management, communications & web-oriented – with KARAMAHMuslim Women Lawyers for Human Rights. For more background, here’s their site.

Probably a little more of a sales and promotion-related opportunity than our usual offerings, but maybe one you DCPA+CJ loyalists would be a good Director, Marketing Communications for Reston’s Harmony Information Systems. They claim to be the leading provider of software and services solutions for the health and human services profession, so you’re job is already half-accomplished, it would seem.

The Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation – Richmond, Va. – needs a Non-Profit Advocacy and Constituency Coordinator.

Here’s a recent (posted Mar. 3) offering from Bristol Myers SquibbAssociate Director, Government Affairs (search DC location). PAC management appears to be priority one for the prospective AD; grassroots and coalition-building work are also part of the equation.

Virilion
asks: “are you a proven campaign strategist?” If “yes” (an emphatic “yes” – not just a “well, kinda”), feel free to apply for their Account Director job. They would also like you to have 10+ years experience in interactive communications & marketing, plus related project management background.

Got those WebEx/Live Meeting or other web-based meeting software skills down pat? You could be the next Online Events Manager for CommPartners (Elkridge, Md.)

We’ve featured a lot of World Wildlife Fund positions here in recent months, and here’s yet another – Director, Climate Change. Responsible for leading engagement with business and industry in support of climate policy objectives such as green stimulus, clean energy, climate legislation, and US participation in a global climate deal.

Americans for Informed Democracy is looking for a new Executive Director; vision, talent, and dedication required. The new ED will oversee strategic planning, program design and resource management, and day-to-day operations (including budget, marketing, event planning and communications) – and, perhaps, the organization’s move from Baltimore to DC. Apply by April 17.
