Passionate about sustainability? Wired into the online world?
30 Days of Sustainability needs an online community coordinator.
Vancouver’s 30 Days of Sustainability – an annual celebration of sustainability and its role in the world – needs a passionate, articulate coordinator for its web site.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
You’ll research and write material on a wide range of issues, talking with Vancouver community organizations, businesses and leaders working across the spectrum of sustainability.
You’ll manage the operation of a Drupal-based content-managed web site, and assist local organizations in using it to announce and promote 30 Days-related events.
And you’ll animate comments and conversations about how we can make Vancouver a global leader in sustainability.
WHO YOU ARE:
You have three great obsessions: sustainability, great communities and online technology. Chances are you’re involved with a volunteer or advocacy organization. And you probably have your own blog, a personal web site or an online community you call home.
You’re spontaneous, with an engaging, authentic online voice. You write quickly and well with a distinctive style. You’d be equally comfortable interviewing a demonstrator at a protest rally and a CEO in a boardroom.
And you understand sustainability: the threats to our local, regional and global environment, and the need for positive change and workable solutions.
ABOUT THE JOB:
We’re offering a chance to play a leading role in a high-profile online community project. You’ll be working directly for Social Signal, a leader in building ground-breaking online communities geared to effecting real-world change. You get to work with a team that includes Internet innovators, change leaders and skilled communicators. If sustainability and making a difference are the things that rock your world, this could be your dream job.
This is a full-time contract position with some fixed hours, but we can be flexible. The position will run through May 22, 2007.
HOW TO APPLY:
Tell us about yourself — your community involvement, your interest in sustainability your Web knowledge, your skills as a writer. Tell us why this position interests you, and why you’re the right person for the job. Attach a resumé that details your online, writing and community experience. Include a sample or pointer to your web writing, and a link to your blog, web site or other online presence.
Please apply to 30days@socialsignal.com by Wednesday, March 21. And thanks for your interest!
I sent this to a couple of folks. Pity Sarah has flown the coup to Toronto, eh?
