Online Marketing Director
Are you an innovative web marketer who knows how to attract highly-qualified visitors? Do you have a passion for connecting others to something meaningful? Would you like to go home at night knowing that you helped make the world a better place, versus driving people to LOLCats.com, working for an organization described by the Washington Post as “(facilitating) foreign aid at the speed of light?”

This is a senior position on GlobalGiving’s marketing team, which is responsible for recruiting and retaining donors, supporting business partnerships, continuing to grow awareness of the GlobalGiving brand, and executing and tracking effectiveness of our marketing strategies. If you don’t have a genuine interest in applying business-like rigor to changing the world, as well as legitimate experience in sophisticated online marketing, this probably isn’t the job for you.

Creating and managing multi-channel acquisition strategies in conjunction with Directors of Business Development and Marketing Communications
Overseeing, monitoring and leveraging metrics tracking and strategic evaluation of marketing initiatives (e.g., paid search) for optimal success.

Ability to “play well in the sandbox” – everything is done in teams…and a sense of humor and love of music would be helpful
Our open-space office is located in the historic “U” Street area of Washington DC, and is two blocks from Metro.

Marketing Communications Manager
Are you high-energy? Team-oriented? An awesome writer and communicator? Into the internet? Ready to change the world? Got some legitimate work experience? GlobalGiving may be looking for you, if you're interested in applying those attributes to helping grassroots projects around the world get access to funds they need to do their inspiring work.

We were founded by two ex-World Bankers who woke up one day and said, “Hey, let's do something more entrepreneurial, like an e-bay for international philanthropy.” And a few years later over 500 social entrepreneurs around the world have received funding from thousands of donors... all through www.globalgiving.com.

This position is part of GlobalGiving's marketing team, which is responsible for recruiting and retaining donors, supporting business partnerships, establishing the GlobalGiving brand, and executing our always-brilliant marketing strategies. If you don't have an interest in international philanthropy and development, as well as excellent verbal and written communications skills, this probably isn't the job for you. The Marketing Communications Manager will play a key role in enhancing and promoting the GlobalGiving.com website, so experience in online marketing (especially paid and organic search) and design tools (e.g., PhotoShop), is super desirable.

Things you'd be responsible for:

Managing GlobalGiving's external communications - including writing and publishing newsletters, e-alerts, and donor communications.
Making copy improvements to our Web site and supporting online marketing activities, including search.
Leveraging our CRM system to customize and target outbound communications (online and off).
Supporting PR efforts - research, outreach, and crafting press releases.
Collaborating with BD team to develop materials tailored to different customer segments.
Managing marketing campaigns and special projects as needed.
Making sure all the marketing administration stuff gets done right.
Skills and attributes that will come in handy:

3+ years of experience in communications, particularly online-related.
Comfort in an entrepreneurial, growing environment (aka, high levels of experimentation and fluid priorities).
No man or woman is an island, especially at GG - so you must like people to join our team.
A sense of humor and love of music.

Undergraduate Supply Internship - Fall 2007
GlobalGiving seeks a fun, motivated, self starter with an interest being part of a small, fast moving organization that is at the cutting edge of international aid and philanthropy.

GlobalGiving directly connects social entrepreneurs in the developing world with individuals, corporations, and institutions that have an interest in funding projects that fuel positive social and environmental change.

Founded in 2000 by two ex-World Bank executives, GlobalGiving is growing the overall international development market by leveraging current international aid and philanthropy resources and engaging donors and social entrepreneurs who have historically been marginalized by the international aid and philanthropy system.

The candidate should have an interest in international development and be eager to help GlobalGiving better support social entrepreneurs working around the world. He or she will work with GlobalGiving's supply team to improve and grow the GlobalGiving project network of project organizations. Excellent verbal and written communications skills are required.

Researching potential GlobalGiving partner organizations to increase the thematic and geographic diversity of GlobalGiving projects
Reviewing and submitting projects for posting on the GlobalGiving site
Communicating with projects about due diligence and progress reports, and reviewing submitted materials
Investigating and designing tools to help social entrepreneurs market their work and maximize donations for their projects
Because GlobalGiving sits at the intersection of the corporate, foundation, and NGO worlds, the intern will gain from significant exposure to all three sectors and will learn about on-the-ground development work.

Internship is 30-40 hours a week, for a minimum of 8 weeks, although hours and start date are somewhat flexible. Our office is located in Washington DC's vibrant U St. neighborhood at 1816 12th St NW and is convenient to the U St metro.
