Membership Coordinator and Office Manager

1% for the Planet uses market forces to drive positive environmental change by inspiring companies to give. In recent years, we have sparked a fast growing movement anchored by companies that commit to giving at least one percent of their sales to the environment. Every year we certify that member companies complete their donations. We seek to build participation in the network through innovative marketing, new business development and outreach. For more than one year we have added at least one additional member company every day. Today we have nearly 900 member companies in 28 different countries that channel more than $12MM in annual contributions. The MC/OC plays a very active role at the core of the organization. He or she is responsible for keeping the organization on top of its most fundamental commitments to members, recipients, employees, its Board and other stakeholders. The role is highly varied and includes programmatic responsibilities like overseeing the certification process, responding to incoming inquiries from members and processing new license agreements. There are also administrative components to the job that include procurement, managing financial data and administering health and retirement plans. Because of our rapid growth trajectory, the MC/OC is a growth-oriented position with strong potential for promotion within one year. The MC/OC has to be highly detail oriented, adept at multi-tasking, and persistent enough to keep abreast of a highly involved certification process. He or she has to enjoy interacting with lots of different people on a daily basis. This job requires a very high level of commitment and the rewards are commensurate. We offer an extremely competitive compensation package as well as the opportunity to play a key role in growing and shaping an organization that is affecting a tremendous amount of positive change. We also have a high powered team that works well together while having a blast making the world a better place.

The right person for this job will have outstanding attention to detail and world class organizational skills as well as excellent oral and written communication skills. He or she must also be very comfortable using and manipulating
database systems. Being tech savvy is a big plus since there’s an opportunity to help us improve our member related processes through the use of technology. He or she should have several years of solid experience in a professional setting and must really enjoy plowing through repetitive. A sense of humor and a natural inclination towards working with people makes all the difference.

THIS POSITION WILL BE LOCATED IN WAITSFIELD, VERMONT. TO APPLY, PLEASE SEND A COVER
LETTER AND A RESUME TO jobs@onepercentfortheplanet.org
