War of the Words

Chickasaw Nation Industries – a federal contracting operation owned by the Oklahoma-based Chickasaw Nation – seeks Web Content Manager for their DC outpost. Journalism/News background preferred. Experience with Day platform a plus, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills

Sage Communications is looking to bring 1 or 2 Account Coordinators on board – 1-3 years of experience, with agency and technology PR background a plus. We’re told there is a 90 day intern-to-hire period as part of the equation – more intel on the positions available from laurenc – at – aboutsage.com

Wordsmith – yep, that’s what Dominion Enterprises is looking for; your love of wordplay, keen turns of phrase, and pungent sense of humor desired – Norfolk, Va.

In a similar vein, the Pappas Group – a creative/brand-building outfit – seeks a Copy Writer with creative sharps* and wordsmityness [sic] for all that grammatical stuff. Ability to play nice with others also sought.

Or just stay home in your pajamas for all we care – in Falls Church or Fort Worth – as a Blogger for Talent Zoo.

Via the seldom-used comments field submission route, we bring you this Public Affairs Manager post with Resources for the Future – broad portfolio of communications responsibilities noted. Also possible available: Development Associate – can also search here.

For your job resource of the day, we note that the indispensable Roll Call job board has shed their old unique look for a solution powered by the popular Job Target system.

* Coining sharps is our own little attempt at wordsmittyness.

___________________________________

CACI seeks Senior Congressional Affairs Specialist to liaise between the House of Representatives, Senate, and JIEDDO. Experience in briefing senior military leaders and Congressional Members is part of their wish list for the position.

It’s sensible that an employer asks that candidates possess a personal political philosophy compatible with the organization’s mission and public policy objectives – but that requirement lacks meaningful context (and really doesn’t help you out) if it’s a mystery organization like this one seeking Press Intern and Policy Research Intern candidates.

Here’s what's new in the DC precincts of Fleishman-Hillard since we last checked in on them:
U.S. Chamber of Commerce:
How about a gig with the last DC-area major league sports franchise to win a championship? Of course, we mean DC United:
Staying on the futbol pitch – MLS seeks Local Digital Coordinator to help coordinate with teams to ensure they are making the most of their digital assets – New York

Leverage your skills in running a comprehensive earned media communications program and knowledge of progressive politics as Communications Director for Social Security Works.

Brookings Institution:

Marginally-anonymous (we’re guessing the fl06 in the email address means something) conservative senior member of Congress seeks experienced Executive Assistant.

Crosby Marketing Communications seeks Account Director/Account Supervisor staffers to manage large government, healthcare and social marketing campaigns – offices in DC and Annapolis, MD.

Refugees International:
  • Online Outreach Associate – apply by Jan. 5
  • Advocate – high-level of French language capability required – knowledge of Swahili, Arabic or Spanish desired – apply by Jan. 17
  • Director of Policy & Advocacy – working knowledge of another language of value to the agency’s overseas work, such as French, Spanish or Arabic, is advantageous – apply by Jan. 17
  • Foundations Manager – currently notes a Jan. 20, 2010 application deadline – but maybe the year is a typo.
Imagine yourself a throw-in for the McNabb trade as you're repatriated to Philadelphia – in particular, to work at the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania:
American Rights at Work – Program Manager for Campaigns & Partnerships - $70k-$80k – apply by Jan. 14

The Gephardt Group (yes, that Gephardt) seeks Executive Assistant of the hardworking & energetic variety.

For your Monday resource – the internationally-focused and super-comprehensive Public Affairs World website is a must-see source for lobbying/PR info from abroad.

Under the Radar

For your Tuesday specialty programming, we changed up our usual search methodologies to look for (potentially) less-widely advertised/circulated opportunities.
