Marketing Program Manager

Summary:        

The Wellesley Historical Society is seeking an enthusiastic, organized, and driven professional to serve as the Marketing Program Manager. 

This is an excellent opportunity for a marketing professional who is looking to utilize their expertise and experience, while supporting the spirit of the Wellesley community and the mission of the Wellesley Historical Society.

The role is mostly a work-from-home position with occasional face-to-face meetings and events. This position has initially been funded for up to nine months until June 2024, from ten to twenty hours per week.

About the WHS:   

The Wellesley Historical Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to collect, preserve, and share Wellesley’s history and inspire public appreciation of the town’s heritage and culture. The Society engages the public through events, speaker series, walking tours, and exhibits. We have a passion and dedication to “Open the Door to History” of Wellesley, New England, the United States, and beyond.

Responsibilities:    

The Marketing Program Manager will manage all aspects of the Society’s marketing plan and execution.  This includes content creation — written, graphic, and video — as well as the design and deployment of member communication, on-line advertising, direct mailings, email communication, social media postings, and website management.  The Manager will be responsible for developing and implementing the Society’s marketing calendar, make improvements to the marketing strategy, and track public response.

This is not a fund-raising role, but the Marketing Program Manager will assist in the creation of content supporting the Society’s fund-raising efforts and assist both staff and volunteers in Society events.

Skills:                        

The Marketing Program Manager must have proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, META Business Suite, and social media management generally.  The Manager will utilize Canva and must have a willingness to learn how to use this platform.

This is mostly a work-from-home role, with occasional meetings and staff interaction at the Society offices, as well as participation in the three Society fundraising events. The Manager must be someone who is motivated, organized, and have a natural enthusiasm for the work and goals of the Society.

Experience:            

The Marketing Program Manager must have experience with creating and editing marketing content and deployment of that content in analog and electronic media.  All relevant prior experience will be considered.

Compensation:     

This is an independent contractor role and the Marketing Program Manager will not be an employee of the Society. The Manager will provide updates and take instruction from the Executive Director and from the Board of Directors but will exercise independent judgement in both the execution of the task and the hours they work.

The role is initially funded for up to nine months until June 2024, from ten to twenty hours per week. Hourly compensation based on experience and expertise of the candidate.

Contact:                  

Candidates should send a cover letter and resume to director@wellesleyhistoricalsociety.org or to Wellesley Historical Society, 229 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA 02481.
