NOLS Marketing Re-structuring; New Positions Available

A lot has changed in the world of NOLS marketing—the NOLS Bus; television opportunities; media coverage; corporate partnerships; the addition of WMI and NOLS Professional Training—as a result the structure of our department needs to change as well. Over the next month or so we will be hiring for two new positions—a NOLS Pro/WMI marketing coordinator and a Word of Mouth marketing coordinator. Jeanne O’Brien will be moving into another newly created position in the marketing department—public relations and partnerships manager. As a result we will be hiring a marketing manager to assume the supervision and some of the project responsibility that Jeanne has managed.

Additionally, we are in the process of hiring a bus events coordinator to replace Doug Skiba, who moved to Colorado recently. Much of the re-structure will be accomplished by moving individuals into new roles , but we will also be doing some hiring from outside the department and possibly the school. We are going to hire these positions in a “jump ball” fashion allowing people to apply for any or all of the positions. The application deadline is August 19, 2005. Once we have all of the applications we will then sort things out and try to match people’s strengths to appropriate positions. Position descriptions will be posted soon on the jobs section of the NOLS website. Gotta love a free for all!
