How about being a part of a non-profit organization that makes it possible for recipients to receive corneal transplants that restore sight?
If this sounds like you, the Community & Professional Relations Coordinator position might be the perfect fit for you!
Bill had acid splashed in his eyes on the job site years ago, and as a result, he needed a cornea transplant. He is thankful to the person who said yes to being an eye, organ and tissue donor, so that he could regain his vision. Bill shared his story on the local news station, and as a result, a young man whom Bill has known his whole life came up and shared that he, too, would need a cornea transplant. The young man said he was scared, but knowing that Bill had the procedure, he wanted to ask him more questions about it. You could be the person behind the scenes, helping Bill tell his story so that others may be impacted and inspired.
As a Community and Professional Relations Coordinator, you will need to be a self-motivated individual, accomplishing goals independently and contributing to team goals. You should have the ability to think strategically, have strong interpersonal communication skills, and be able to keep your work and schedule organized as it can change frequently.

The ideal candidate has an outgoing personality, able to draw people in at a trade show and educate them on the eye donation process.

As part of a small team of coordinators, you will also help with storytelling and content creation, using applications such as Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite. Our current team has a strong skill set and many strengths, and we would love to add a team member who also has some knowledge of generating reports through Microsoft Power Bi or relevant/equivalent experience.
