Position #00002
The Virginia Board for People with Disabilities seeks a dynamic, highly motivated individual to lead its outreach, communications activities, and planning activities. As a small, unique state agency tasked to assess the needs of Virginians with disabilities and advocate for improvements and expansions of the state’s disability services system, the Board requires a Marketing and Strategic Planning Manager with extensive knowledge and experience in grassroots and professional networking and outreach to diverse constituencies in the governmental, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors, preferably including individuals with disabilities and their families, service-providers, advocacy organizations, and policymakers.
Candidates must have demonstrated experience in identifying target audiences and their leaders, devising and implementing the best means of communicating with them, and facilitating collaborations among them. Strong public and media relations skills are required, including traditional and online research, writing and editing for technical and general readership publications, public speaking, and events management. Media relations experience should include print, broadcast, and online news and information sources. Management of website content, effective use of direct and mass e-mail communications, and familiarity with online social media are also required.
Because of the Board’s large, diverse membership and small support staff, the Marketing and Strategic Planning Manager must be an effective one-on-one communicator as well, capable of eliciting the knowledge, capabilities, and viewpoints of Board members and coworkers, following others’ direction, and supporting their activities. The ability and willingness to multi-task and adapt promptly in a changing environment is essential. Experience in facilitating group consensus on short and long-range goals, objectives, and strategies and expressing them clearly and precisely is required. Experience with designing and implementing qualitative and quantitative constituent research, including the use of focus groups and printed, telephone, and online surveys, for assessment and evaluation is also required. Fluency with grant-funding, regulatory, and political processes is preferred.
This position will work closely with the Executive Director, the Board’s Executive Committee and Board staff to help create change within and outside of the organization. Some statewide and overnight travel will be required.
