I am looking to bring on a full-time salaried staff member. If interested, please fill out the form at the base of this post and upload your resumé.

The Program Associate is a salaried full-time position that requires taking on a diverse array of responsibilities across many areas. There will be room for advancement and specialization as the organization grows.

A passion for vegan education, the ability to manage multiple projects at once, and willingness to be flexible with work hours are a must.

Requirements include:

  • Passion for increasing the reach of open-access, barrier-free effective vegan education
  • An aptitude for quick and independent learning, including new software and social media platforms
  • Willing to either relocate to the Iowa City, Iowa area or at least spend a few weeks there for laying a foundation and developing initial plan of action. Moving forward the position will largely be remote/work-from-home. Work hours and times will vary based on the nature and the due dates of projects. Occasional travel will be required.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Willingness and aptitude for coordinating volunteers and independent contractors
  • Exquisite organizational skills, work ethic, professionalism, and attention to detail
  • Excellent problem-solving, decision-making and prioritizing abilities
  • An aptitude for researching, interviewing/evaluating candidates for consulting and independent contracting positions
  • Willingness to be flexible with work hours, including evenings, weekends and Holidays as needed.
  • Familiarity with web-based applications (like WordPress) a plus but not required

Responsibilities include:

Team Structure, Volunteer & Independent Contractor Coordination
  • Independently research, assess and implement a system for volunteer coordination, project management, team communication, and video distribution and promotion workflow
  • Sourcing, placing, and coordinating volunteers and independent contractors
  • Creating projects and teams
  • Finding “stand out” reliable volunteers to develop and coordinate groups/teams
  • Sourcing skilled volunteers for higher level tasks
  • Research, assess and implement a system for email and contact form management
  • As the team grows, assess and report suggestions when it is time to expand with opening additional positions
Social Media & Outreach
  • Assist with developing strategies and workflows for maintaining an active social media presence
  • Assign volunteer teams to appropriate tasks
  • Assess when/if an independent consultant is needed for dedicated social media management
  • Collect and organize testimonials from comments, emails, messages, etc.
  • Provide suggestions to identify and approach influencers and organizations in the vegan community
  • Continually work to improve Bite Size Vegan's social media outreach
Donor Relations & Management
  • Assess options for and implementing a new donor management system/platform
  • Coordinate the transition from the current funding platform
  • Write regular updates for donors
  • Manage, track and ensure delivery of donor rewards
  • Find new opportunities and methods for fundraising, outreach and grant opportunities
General
  • Stay abreast of any required filings for the nonprofit
  • Coordinate and initiate timely updates and communication across "departments," e.g. accountant, required fillings for the nonprofit, project statuses, consultants and independent contractors, etc.
  • Coordinate and support volunteers
  • Assist in preparing reports for our Board of Directors
  • Research and suggest new ways to increase our visibility, reach, and impact
