The Free Job of the Week Newsletter
This is JOTW newsletter number 2,023
“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”
– Desmond Tutu
This edition of JOTW comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.
*** Welcome to the JOTW network!
You are one of more than 5,800+ members in the JOTW subscriber network.
This is the award-winning free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators, dedicated to the positive unanticipated consequences of networking, or as we call it, “nedworking.” JOTW is a cooperative service. That means JOTW relies on the contributions of its members, like you. We share job opportunities, news and information about the job market, as well as swapping stories about life’s peculiarities. We connect you with others who are like you, and together we help each other. What a concept. Did I mention it’s free?
*** To submit a job for sharing on JOTW, please provide the job title, organization or company, and location and send it to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com. Provide a link or contact info so people can check out your listing or follow up if interested.
*** Posting a job is free. Recruiters can submit up to three jobs for free. Each job listing may be posted once in the newsletter for free
I request that you do not send pdf files that I have to copy and reformat. I prefer you provide your very brief job description in an email rather than an enclosure. Please limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less). “Can’t Wait” blast email priority listings are $300, and “Top Job” placement is $100. Just send to me at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** This is a cooperative service. It relies on your participation and contribution. As you receive the benefit of this free newsletter, you should also send in jobs you learn about. This is especially the case when there are job listings in the companies that you work for.
*** To sign up for JOTW’s new Google Groups list, send an email to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com and request to join the JOTW listserv. If you received this as an email from neds-job-of-the-week@googlegroups.com, then you are on this list.
*** This week’s Can’t Wait postings:
None this week
*** Can’t Wait jobs: These jobs are forwarded to the entire list as soon as they are received, and do not wait for the Monday newsletter, and are posted prominently on the JOTW website. Then they are posted first in the weekly JOTW newsletter. Can’t Wait postings cost $300. Contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** This week’s Top Job:
None this week.
Top Jobs: Stand above the rest. Your job can be right here, at the top of the weekly JOTW newsletter. Top job placement costs $100 per job per week. To be on top, contact Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
*** If you find out about a job opportunity in communications, send it to me (lundquist989@cs.com), and I’ll share it with the JOTW network.
*** Here’s the link for the JOTW newsletter on the website:
http://www.nedsjotw.com/2023/12/25/jotw-52-2023/
*** One Paragraph Pitch:
None this week.
*** Send your One Paragraph Pitch submissions to lundquist989@cs.com. You can pitch yourself or your business any way you want, as long as it’s short and to the point. You can include a photo, too! There is no waiting list. Or, if there is, the queue is pretty short. And it’s free! Submit yours today!
*** Showcase Your Expertise with Professional Certification
As a communication professional, you’ve made a career out of continued learning and growth within the communications field. Now, show off the expertise you have honed by earning professional certification through the Global Communication Certification Council (GCCC).
The Communication Management Professional (CMP) and Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP) certifications will set you apart from the crowd and give you increased recognition and other benefits in the workforce.
Don’t wait: explore your options today.
The GCCC’s purpose is to create and maintain an internationally recognized standard of communication excellence based on a global understanding of key principles and job competencies worldwide. The GCCC’s Communication Management Professional (CMP) and Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP) certifications are the only certifications in the world that meet ISO standards (ISO/IEC 17024).
The GCCC recently conducted a survey amongst communication certificants, sponsored by #WeLeadComms. Take a look at the results of that survey here.

11.) Manager, Business Development and Accounts, Taft Communications LLC, Trenton, NJ
Are you working for a larger firm and like the idea of immediately helping to fuel a smaller firm’s growth? Do you already work for a small or mid-sized firm but don’t feel fulfilled by the business you’re pursuing? Are you searching for a firm with a deep commitment to purpose and positive impact in both client work and how the firm operates?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, Taft may be the place for you.
Taft Communications is a boutique communications consultancy focused on purpose and impact that is part of the global PROI network. We apply our deep communications experience and passion for making a difference to help clients better articulate their core purpose and energize how they engage employees, drive social impact, strengthen DEI, commit to sustainability, and promote better health. Our clients – many in the health and clean energy space — are both corporate and nonprofit and based throughout the US and beyond. In Taft, you’ll find a values-based firm that has more than tripled in size over the last decade and is committed to sustainable growth for years to come.
Taft is looking for a rising and energetic “builder” with a desire to share our focus, a fire to help us grow our business, and the confidence to help tell our story before any audience.
Our Manager, Business Development and Accounts will primarily focus on managing our efforts to secure new opportunities for the firm, in collaboration with senior Focus Area leads. This position is perfect for a communications professional who wants to accumulate broad-based experience as they navigate a path to agency leadership.
More specifically, the Manager will:
- Manage our Business Development committee based on CEO direction, removing roadblocks and improving collaboration
- Drive proposal process for key opportunities, including updating BD toolkit and managing customized proposal and presentation development, with support of other team members, design resources and project coordinator
- Conduct targeted direct outreach to secure Taft introductory meetings and invitations for Taft to bid on new business
- Regularly update Taft CRM, ensure we track progress against key metrics, and follow up regularly with team members and prospects to help win new business
- Participate in client onboarding process to prepare new clients for full transition to account teams.
- Coordinate and project manage planning and activities of Marketing Committee
- Contribute to creative content for Taft marketing activities including websites, video, digital advertising, and social media
- Liaise with partner agencies and vendors who can strengthen the Taft offerings and/or provide referral business
- Focus on project management or account services (potentially including media relations or digital/social support) for a limited number of agency clients
The successful candidate should have:
- 5-8 years of experience in media relations, journalism, public relations, public affairs or related marketing field.
- Experience working with health/life sciences, education or renewable energy/environmental companies (or clients) is preferred.
- Familiarity with different types of projects and deliverables, including but not limited to communications strategy, creative concepting, video, digital, and vendor management. Project Management Certificate (PMP) is a plus.
- Excellent organizational skills to closely manage the firm’s business development activities.
- A sense of humor and desire to work with a tight-knit team
- An authentic interest in our purpose-focused work and making a positive impact on the world
Salary range:
$65,000 – $91,000 plus incentives
What Taft offers:
- The chance to make a quick impact on a growing firm
- A competitive comp package – including both base salary and significant success-based incentives – as well as opportunity to advance
- Lots of flexibility: our main office is in Trenton, NJ, and the position will be required to be at the office two days per week as of January 2024. The position will involve occasional travel, primarily in the tri-state region
- A full benefits package, including generous PTO, medical, dental, and 401K
- A smart, fun, and values-based team
