Attention Seattlistas, or anyone with friends in Seattle looking for a job:
My office is looking for someone to be my maternity leave replacement. It's at least a 6-month position, starting in early March to have some overlap with me, and there's a good chance it'll turn permanent if I decide not to come back. Which is how I'm strongly leaning at present. They're recruiting for a full-time person, and it carries full benefits.
Despite my own problems here, I feel like this could be a great job for someone with more of a team orientation than what I have. Let's face it--I don't exactly Play Well With Others. Also, the fact that when I started this job in 1999 I was on my own, and then had a team kind of built around me as we ramped up development staff for a capital campaign, made it hard for me to adapt, because I liked it so much better when I was on my own and never got used to having to go through more than one person to get stuff done.
The job requires someone who's a strong writer and an all-around responsible, well-organized person, above all. You don't have to be expert with numbers/money, but you're dealing with banking and tax info, so you need to be a responsible record-keeper who can manage high school math on an Excel spreadsheet. College education required, experience in copywriting, PR, development, fundraising, and/or event planning strongly desirable.
If you or a friend is interested, email me and I'll send you the URL for the posting and answer any questions you have.
