POSITION DESCRIPTION
Freshwater’s programs, services, and products are key to inspiring and empowering people to value and preserve water. Keeping our current and future supporters aware of and engaged in our work requires clear and timely engagement, creativity, consistent feedback, and a commitment to honor the time and perspectives of those engaged.
Freshwater relies primarily upon western science in our work to protect water, though we aspire to work toward including traditional ecological knowledge from Indigenous people – the communications and marketing coordinator will need to support these values. Freshwater seeks to continually adapt and improve our communication and marketing tools and methods to remain a trusted and preferred source of research, policy, engagement and systems change programs for water protection and restoration.
We are seeking a candidate for our team who will coordinate the communication and marketing of Freshwater’s programs, products, and services, including:
- Social media
- Educational events such as conferences, symposia, and the Moos Family Speaker Series
- Newsletters and blog posts
- Fundraising opportunities such as the annual Freshwater Benefit and giving campaigns
- Media releases
- Video
- Research reports and white papers
- Freshwater’s website
- The Minnesota Weatherguide Environment Calendar and Almanac
Scientists, researchers, policy makers, community members and governmental officials access and use Freshwater communications for many differing purposes to protect and restore water. Therefore, maintaining standards for accuracy, documentation/reference, evidence-basis and sources of information is extremely important for a variety of audiences and purposes.
