Nice, Lazy Afternoons

The Institute for Policy Studies, self-identified as a progressive multi-issue think tank, seeks an experienced Communications Director to join their growing communications department. Apply by Sept. 11. Intern opportunities (scroll down) also available, with an Aug. 5 application deadline suggested.

Why is it always “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” – couldn’t you also use flower vs. seed, instead? In any event, don’t pose that question if you’re called in to interview by the American Seed Trade Association for their Director of Public Affairs opportunity.

We’ve mentioned several of the jobs available here with Greenpeace in recent weeks – but here’s a couple new ones:
Burson-Marsteller is looking for a Senior Level Healthcare PR Specialist in DC with strong pharma experience – but you won’t find it at that link (at least as of Thursday, as we put this together). You can, however, find a little more info via their twitter feed, or by going to the always-helpful tweetgrid search and looking for BMGlobalNews.

Walgreen’s is looking to stock a new Director, Federal Government Relations in the DC store – JD or Master’s degree desired; along with extensive GR and Capitol Hill experience. Healthcare committee experience especially desired, as well as familiarity with Medicare/Medicaid and pharma issues. Or search here via DC location or job ID 15806.

Do you have a library science degree – or at least graduate coursework in same? Please check out (ha!) the Librarian opportunity with the Government Accountability Office – $47k-$74k – GAO-09-KS-1410-10 – apply by Aug. 13.

How does administrative support work assigned to a project scanning and indexing files and correspondence sound to you? If you didn’t let out an anguished cry in response, then perhaps you can handle this Admin Assistant opportunity with the Secretary of the Senate’s disbursing office. They’ll disburse $32k annually to you for your trouble. Job ID AOA2009 – apply by Aug. 3.

Fancy yourself Joe or Jane Corporate? Director of Corporate Communications (scroll to find or search ID 42056) with the Corporate Executive Board might be your thing.

Mom was right – make sure you wash your hands! Her direction is writ large by the Academy for Economic Development through their involvement in the Public Private Partnership for Handwashing. Where do you fit in? As a Specialist, Secretariat Coordinator for the program, as you coordinate and lead efforts to identify and mobilize new resources for the initiative and collaborate with partners and country-level teams in developing new sources of funding. A lot of other AED opportunities can be found here.

Don’t get your hopes up too much – the Advocacy Assistant position with the National Peace Corps Association is, in fact, an internship. Of the unpaid variety. Still, probably a pretty attractive intern gig.

Nothing new in DC among the jobs available with the Natural Resources Defense Council, but maybe someone is interested in:
The Center for Progressive Leadership will accept resumes until Aug. 31 – or until your sparking resume, compelling letter and nailed-it! (yes!) interview takes their External Affairs Manager job off the market.

American Medical Association – they’re not busy these days, right? So their Public Information Officer job is probably a nice, lazy way to pass your afternoons until you join the gang at Donovan House or Bar Pilar. Can also search here, under all locations or keyword 2682DH – doesn’t come up under DC, oddly enough.

DAI – aka Development Alternatives Inc. – has opportunities to get in on efforts to fight poverty and bring economic growth, good governance and other related benefits to the developing world. Search here if links fail you.
Northern Virginia-based nonprofit needs Executive Assistant for long-term (one year?) temp assignment. $16-$19/hr. Search managed by Randstad.

We get requests for more marketing communications jobs – so here’s one Marketing Coordinator for AECOM (search MidAtlantic region or job ID 34631BR).

If you have experience managing a Arabic language website, the World Bank would probably like it if you checked out this Communications Associate posting. And you don’t want to disappoint the World Bank, do you? Apply by Aug. 27.

It appears the American Public Transportation Association first put out the call for an Advertising and Circulation Coordinator (note: pdf link) in mid-June. We suppose they’re looking for more resumes with this recent ASAE listing – and noting a $37k-$50k pay scale.

You know you’re not qualified for the Congressionally Directed Actions Coordinator job with the Office of National Intelligence – heck, you’re probably not even qualified or cleared to look at it. But maybe nobody else will apply by Aug 7. $102k-$133k – job ID PC947.

Here’s a far-flung Friday listing all the way from Polk County, Iowa – the Text Processor for the Iowa House of Representatives enters bills and amendments into the legislative computer system; prepares bills for introduction; incorporates adopted amendments into bill text; maintains files and records of House study bills; prepares bills for signature by legislative leaders. If this sounds like you, well then you should probably [mean-spirited suggestion deleted] check it out and apply by Aug. 4. Starting pay = $29k. Can also search here, using req ID 6524BR.

Your July-closing job search tool is the venerable Riley Guide – providing excellent and extensive online job search resources since 1994!

The Arc claims to be the world’s largest community based organization of and for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – as well as the 9th most valuable non-profit brand. This is all news to us – but that shouldn’t put you off checking out their Senior Lobbyist position for the Disability Policy Collaboration, in conjunction with United Cerebral Palsy. Apply by Aug. 3.

This seems more like a member services type posting than we usually flack here, but perhaps one of you would be interested in Coordinator, Club Services job with the American Advertising Federation.

Discovery Channel – Marketing Manager – at least 3-5 years related experience in marketing/advertising position desired – can also search here, using req # 8925

Profunds Advisors is looking for an experienced Senior Writer/Communications Manager with knowledge and experience related to the financial industry and mutual fund investments/regulations.

We featured the first six jobs shown with the International Center for Research on Women in our recent and much-loved Think Tank Special III. But, number 7 is new to us, and maybe to you: Business Development Associate – a six month position that involves extensive proposal writing and editing work.

Opportunities at the Crystal City HQ of PBS:
Project Concern International is looking for a Director of New Business Development. International NGO experience and at least 9 years work in the international development field are sought.

Successful boutique lobbying firm specializing in energy and environmental issues seeks government relations hire to be part of the team.

Staying on the your-tax-dollars-at-work beat – check out this Public Affairs Specialist opportunity with the US Army Medical Command – $50k-$113k – job ID NCAN09496584DR – apply by Aug. 13.

This would have been a good fit for yesterday’s jr./mid-level communications special – Public Affairs Associate with the Urban Institute. Duties include media outreach/response and work on a variety of publications and products. Two years of previous communications experience required.

We originally found this Government Relations Assistant job with commodity trading firm Louis Dreyfus Corp. via a Yahoo! hotjobs listing. We just thought you would appreciate the direct company link. Yeah, we know you don’t really care.

Have some knowledge/experience with Marine Corps Logistics Modernization and Total Life Cycle Management effort? If so, the Columbia Group wants you to apply for their Strategic Communications Specialist job. Prior Marine Corps experience and public affairs background desired.

The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation seeks a Program Officer for Policy to help identify, develop, and implement strategic opportunities to educate the public about the benefits of economic freedom – and threats against it.

The mission of the Coalition Against Big Trucks seems pretty self-explanatory to us. They seek a Grassroots Organizer to help spread the word. Extensive travel required – and probably not in big trucks.

Your Wednesday job-search tidbit – a dose of optimism to brace your efforts: CareerCast thinks that the Washington DC area is currently the best place in the country to find a job.

Whatever Whenever

You've worked hard all week (or at least wished you had, right?), so we're rewarding you with a plus-sized Friday edition with all kinds of awesome jobs at nonprofits and public relations firms, government affairs jobs and career opportunities in advocacy and public policy. So, with all that SEO-friendly exposition out of the way, Happy Friday from your favorite public affairs and communications jobs resource.

From the last-minute-find department – jobs with anti-hunger crusaders Bread for the World with an application deadline today, July 24:
Boat People SOS was founded in 1980 to help empower, equip, and organize Vietnamese-American immigrants/refugees in their progress toward self-sufficiency. You can join in the effort as their Public Relations Manager.

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research style themselves (presumably based on their own research) as the world's premium research and strategic consulting firm; smarter, faster, and harder workers/deeper thinkers than the rest, as well. So maybe the bar is set pretty high for applicants for their Project Associate opportunity. Statistical and database software chops required; experience with electoral politics and/or survey research preferred.

Chances are you’ve had days (or weeks, months, years) when you felt like your job title should be Whatever Whenever Manager – just like said opportunity with Starwood Hotels at their W Washington Hotel. In Starwood’s version, it appears you’ll be helping run an assortment of bell, desk and dining staff activities; surely that’s a better gig than the coffee procurement, computer assistance, dry-cleaning runs, and mistress-suppression duties you undertook for Sen. _____ or Communications VP _____ in your previous DC adventures in boss-sitting. Can also search here, using job # 60080657.

Currently sought by the Independent Community Bankers Association:
Food and facilities management giant Sodexo Inc. is seeking a Vice President, Government Affairs to manage federal, state, and local lobbying/government relations activities. Gaithersburg, MD location. Can also search here, using req # 372334.

The American Constitution Society seeks a Director of Programs – energetic and experienced, please. Successful hire will helm much of ACS’s substantive work, including the Constitution in the 21st Century project. Bonus widget: they offer instructions on downloading the US Constitution to your iPhone.

The progressive people at the Institute for America’s Future are seeking a Project Director for their nascent Americans for American Values operation – studying the implicit bias and the role of race in US politics. Applications due in the sorta-near future: Aug. 31.

Recently-posted opportunities with the American Wind Energy Association:
Burson-Marsteller has an opening in their technology practice for a Senior Account Executive. However, you’ll have to do some packing and find someone to take over the lease: your location choices are San Francisco, Chicago, Boston or NYC. All things considered, those are pretty good choices.

The US Grains Council is seeking a Director of Communications to develop and execute updated communications strategy with maximum impact to members and stakeholders. And they’ll pay $70k-$90k for you to do it.

New opportunities at the North Old Town-based national offices of the United Way:
Perhaps the firewalls on your office computer won’t let you access this US Vice President of Government Affairs listing with UK online-gaming group Betfair – but, you’re in luck: here’s another easier-to-access listing for the job, generously offering a $250k-$350k pay scale, to boot. We would suggest trying to look at both, however, as they have different submission info and other disparities.

Humanity United – fighting modern day slavery and atrocities worldwide – want your help in the struggle:
The first review of resumes commences on Aug. 22 for the Manager, Community Relations job with the Maryland Port Administration in Baltimore. $52k-$85k.

The Tarpanian Group is looking for a Legislative Representative for advocacy on behalf of the Teamsters. Solid Capital Hill contacts a must; salary up to $95k.

The United Nations Foundation has some more opportunities to join their organization (and partake of their excellent roster of benefits):
The Institute for Defense Analyses has an opening for an Editor to help manage perfect production for a variety of publications and materials. Ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance required; but defense/military experience is not specifically requested – though we guess it couldn’t hurt.

Current opportunities with the Alliance to Save Energy:
I.M. Systems Group, contractor to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Silver Spring, MD, seeks a part-time Communications Specialist to coordinate and promote Marine Debris Program activities. As far as part-time work goes, this sounds pretty great.

Here’s a chance to prove Dad wrong about the value of your philosophy degree, as you grab the Administrative Assistant job with Georgetown University’s Philosophy Dept. Pay range: $32k-$34k. And, on closer inspection, they don’t look like they are particularly seeking philosophy grads. Maybe Dad was right.

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology need some help in their secret laboratories nestled among the foreboding and forbidding Carpathian Mountains (well, actually Bethesda):
You live and breathe the digital space, truly believe it has the potential to be a game changer for business/culture/society at large – and you want to be a part of it. Well, here you go: Senior Technical Lead, Digital Group with Porter Novelli. Experience programming/coding in any of the following languages/frameworks would be a plus: PHP, C#, Visual Basic, Python, Javascript, JQuery, Prototype, T-SQL.

You've got until Aug. 7 – 5:00 pm, on the dot – to get your application in for the part-time (15 hours/week) Admin Assistant job with the Farragut North/Dupont Circle-located Coalition for Juvenile Justice.

Your Friday employment-search resource: the steady stream of job tips and advice from Applicant.com. We particularly like their helpful list of 60+ job search sites.

Six Figures (well, almost)

The anti-poverty crusaders at CARE have a fresh call for a Director of Government Relations with 10+ years substantial legislative/Congressional experience to lead their GR operation. They also seek a Program Officer to handle a range of duties including research, communications, budget monitoring and some administrative support. If previous links give you trouble, you can also search here under US-located jobs, where you’ll also find admin and development jobs in New York and elsewhere.

$55k-$79k: that’s the fare you’ll collect as Legislative Assistant with the Railroad Retirement Board. Job ID: 09-DEU-06 – final boarding call for resumes: Aug. 3.

Here's one that would have been kind of a good fit in yesterday’s Defense & Aerospace Jobs Special: Booz Allen Hamilton is seeking a Senior Program Analyst (search job # 01075777) with Navy or DoD experience, with a background that includes BRAC-related work.

Applied Materials seeks Government Affairs Manager (search corporate affairs category of job or job # 0900784) with 3-5 years mid-level Capitol Hill experience with direct responsibility for energy and environment issues. Directly related private-sector experience representing the clean-tech industry or other high technology company/trade association would be a big plus.

French-owned energy, materials and real estate conglomerate Louis Dreyfus Corp. seeks a highly-experienced Government Relations Assistant for a multitude of admin activities and responsibilities, including PAC-management duties.

An otherwise well-known Fortune 100 company wishes to remain anonymous while they search for a Bilingual Public Relations Representative to create a strategic comprehensive Spanish Media PR program.

Gallup is looking for passionate, creative, smart, and dedicated professionals to join their – whew, let us catch our breath, ok – dynamic team in DC. Specific to your interests: their search for a Government Social Marketing & Communications Specialist (search DC location or job # 00957) with 6+ years of experience with communication and marketing projects for government, non-profit, and for-profit clients in health, mental health, and related fields. Other DC admin, business development, account management, and research-oriented positions available.

The US Postal Service would like to hire a Public Relations Representative (search DC location and public affairs/communications category) to serve as a spokesperson and work with the news media. Pay band is a pretty broad $59k-$102k, apply by July 27. Note: the postal service careers page is a little clunky and cranky (at least on my clunky and cranky old Dell), so you can also take a quick look at this Monster link, instead.

Currently available positions with the Society for Neuroscience:
The National Association of Children's Hospitals has a slot waiting for an Associate, Legislative Advocacy with a minimum of two years of progressively responsible experience in political organizing, community organizing or grassroots/grasstops program development.

Manager of Marketing and Communications for the City of Portsmouth, Va. sounds like a nice challenge – they’re looking for an excellent communicator, effective decision maker, creative thinker, and change-agent for the promotion, marketing and communications needs of their fair town. Salary is a pretty specific-sounding $51,166, apply by July 31.

Dreaming of that six-figure salary? Unfortunately, the AFL-CIO Center for Green Jobs can only spare $99,529.72 for their (new?) Senior Clean Energy Policy Analyst position. If you’re still interested, the job entails research and analysis of federal, state and local programs, on green jobs, economic and workforce development programs, and a host of related issues.

Staying on the labor beat – the United Food and Commercial Workers is seeking a Senior Research Associate with expertise and experience in food and agriculture policy. Law degree, Masters or PhD with at least 3-5 years of related experience is desired.

The University of Maryland, Baltimore has a desk awaiting a Specialist, Public Relations to assist schools and programs in media relations and institutional communications, serve as a front-line spokesperson, and help identify and execute media outreach and placement opportunities. We assume the July 24 filing deadline means apply by July 24.

The Association for Public Television Stations wants resumes for their Grant Coordinator position by July 28. Duties include locating potential sources of funding and helping member stations take advantage of your research. No deadline is referenced for their fall Intern opportunities, so in absence of any guidance, we suggest you get your application in like, now.

Wednesday's job searcher's toolkit brings you an in-the-news two-fer: per yesterday's announcement that political fixture Roll Call (founded 1955) is purchasing it's even-more-established cousin, Congressional Quarterly (1945), we think it's an apt time to revisit the excellent and useful job boards of Roll Call and good old CQ.
