The B Word

Do we have a case of bronchitis coming on?  We'll keep you posted.  Meanwhile, we hope your Monday is more cough-free than ours as you check out some fresh opportunities, as well as yesterday's run of previously noted opportunities closing this week.

Kaiser PermanenteSenior Manager, Public Relations – minimum of fifteen years of experience in community relations, government relations, public affairs or equivalent required.

We won’t make you wait until the usual Thursday run of opportunities from Georgetown University to see this Director of Media Relations, Law School post.

Perhaps you’ll get to meet Dan Neil or the cheerful crew at Jalopnik through your work as Events, Budget and Fleet Communications Specialist for the Audi brand with Volkswagen Group of America.

Construction/engineering & infrastructure giant AECOM seeks New York-based Communications Manager (search communications category or req ID: 94726BR) with  6+ years of experience in employee or internal communications roles in a large global company or agency, or related background.

New since our late-April look-in at the Council of Foreign Relations:
The American Humanist Association notes Editorial Internship as currently available.

Montgomery CollegeWeb Content Strategy Manager – $58k-$79k – apply by May 20

National Governors AssociationProgram Assistant, Homeland Security & Public Safety – prior work experience in public policy related homeland security/public safety deemed helpful, but not absolutely required.

Edison Electric InstituteSummer Research Assistant and Information Center Intern (scroll down for both) posts noted

We believe these are dates-posted (and not start dates)  on listings for PAC Intern and Intern, Legislative Affairs with the National Automobile Dealers Association – $14/hr pay grade noted for both

Does a June 9 start date mean you’re too late for this Alumni Engagement Summer Intern post with World Learning?  $8/hr

This Media Relations Specialist opportunity with George Washington University sports a seemingly-stale 3/18 listing date, but it pops up in the “jobs posted in the last week” search results at the GW career page, so perhaps they’re still actively looking for candidates.  Fresh Executive Director, Special Projects & Campaign Operations post supporting Medical School alumni relations/development team also available; apply by May 30

American Association for the Advancement of ScienceMarketing & Communications Intern

U.S. Chamber of CommerceManager, Communications supporting the Chamber’s Institute for Legal Reform –  3+ years’ experience in a public relations or communications required; proficiency in social media preferred.

Chesapeake Bay Foundation
WateReuse AssociationMarketing & Communications Intern

Environmental Working GroupPress Secretary – five years of prior media relations experience required, including a proven ability to generate coverage of independent NGO research.

Yin and Yang: you have an inherent restlessness to achieve real results, but are not easily frustrated when they don’t happen on your timeline – that’s how Population Services International characterizes ideal Special Assistant to the Executive Office candidates.  French, Spanish or Portuguese language skills also coveted.

See you tomorrow, we hope.

Hello Friday!

A much-needed Friday arrives just in time, if a little wetly – and an assessed-by-us as fun edition of DCPA+CJ arrives a little on the late side.  We hope you enjoy both the day, and the jobs.

Capterra, a Ballston-based company that helps match software with business needs, seeks PR & Social Media Coordinator with 1-3 years of relevant experience; agency background a plus

Our friends at the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine are emphatically not loving the new Taco Bell breakfast menu, but do give J-Lo’s new diet a stamp of approval.  Perhaps even more relevant to your needs is their current call out for a passionate & persistent Staff Writer & Editor to join the team.

Social Impact, a global social enterprise dedicated to the lofty goal helping international agencies, civil society & governments become more effective agents of positive social + economic change, seeks a Communications Expert to support USAID’s Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance – apply by June 21

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is actively seeking a National Outreach Coordinator (pdf) to join their heart-of-Old-Town operation – experience developing relationships with local, state, and national organizations, particularly in the Hispanic community, and related language skills, are particularly sought.

The Center for Community Change seeks Senior Advisor to coordinate an integrated marketing strategy for their economic justice work; top-notch writing, editing, communications and presentation skills, plus the ability to frame ideas, develop stories and synthesize complex policy issues, will help your case.

Pew Charitable Trusts
Spokesperson, leader and fundraiser: that’s your role as President of Potomac Riverkeeper –  8-10 years’ experience in nonprofit or corporate leadership required.

BRG CommunicationsPR Account Manager – 3+ years of relevant experience and strong working knowledge of social media applications and online solutions required – end-of-King-Street location in Old Town

We’ll give the language-skills-thru-gaming operation English Black Belt credit for honesty: what we are NOT good at is marketing our product on social media, recruiting and working with affiliates and doing the daily tasks needed to build an online presence.  You, as their new Social Media Marketer, would presumably remedy that situation.

SOS InternationalStrategic Communications Professional – supporting what we assume to be DoD/DIA efforts in the field of document exploitation – secret clearances required; we’ve surely said way too much already.

Also in the super-fascinating segment: Advanced Resource Technologies, Inc.Risk Communications Specialist – supporting NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products & Services with its capacity to improve message design and delivery before and during natural disaster and emergency events – read the full description; this sounds great.

Universal Strategy Group Inc.Media Specialist supporting the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs – no mention of any responsibilities staging those photo shoots showing off giant caches or seized drugs & weapons, unfortunately.

D.C. UnitedDigital Coordinator – 1-3 years experience in digital content production or sports reporting required, along w/ familiarity w/ the beautiful game

Fontaine & CompanyCampaign Director and Campaign Coordinator – Baltimore, MD

Zuckerman Spaeder Public Relations Specialist – ideal candidate will have 3-5 years PR account management experience, with well-homed media relations skills; agency experience highly preferred – search managed by Global Employment Solutions

Today’s 2014 Bike to Work Day didn’t exactly work out, weather-wise, which would have been a particular concern had you already been installed as the next Executive Director (pdf) of Bike Maryland – Lutherville, MD – apply by June 1

Countable seeks to make political involvement as easy and fun as liking a pic on Facebook; we don’t know if that’s terrifying or great, but you’re in the latter camp, take a look at their Editor in Chief opportunity, or just check out their site.

American UniversityAssistant Director, Special Events – office of the President

Best wishes for super-great weekend from your favorite™ public affairs jobs resource.
