The Marijuana Policy Project
(MPP) is hiring a Communications Assistant, to be based in the organization's
main office in Washington, DC. The Communications Assistant works
in MPP's Communications Department, which is responsible for effectively
communicating MPP's message to the media and the public through written
materials and media relations.
Applicants should have excellent
oral communications skills and strong writing and should be meticulous,
organized, and detail-oriented.
The Communications Assistant
is not a spokesperson position; rather, he or she is responsible for maintaining
MPP's media database, including making corrections or additions to existing
press lists and developing new lists as needed; monitoring all marijuana-related
news and research, disseminating such information to relevant MPP staffers,
and posting key news stories to MPP's web site; tracking MPP's news coverage,
including locating and/or ordering certain print articles, radio interviews,
and TV interviews; making follow-up calls to media outlets to ensure receipt
of MPP's news releases; locating and obtaining copies of reports or studies
that are of interest; preparing press kits; tackling small research projects
aimed at identifying potential media opportunities or obtaining useful
data; organizing and filing press clips and other documents; and tackling
other tasks as assigned. Proofreading ability would be a plus, but
is not required.
The Communications Assistant
reports to the Assistant Director of Communications, who in turn reports
to the Director of Communications. The annual salary of the Communications
Assistant is $30,000. Full health insurance and an optional retirement
package are included. Visit http://www.mpp.org/jobs/process.html
