In 2016-2017, Boston Partners in Education will celebrate 50 years of service to the Boston Public Schools. To build capacity through this momentous occasion, we are hiring for two AmeriCorps VISTA positions within our Marketing/Development team. VISTAs will capitalize on the increased awareness from our 50th Anniversary to promote the Boston Partners brand in the community and re-engage with our alumni and past donors. Interested candidates may apply for the following positions:
- Branding Coordinator
- Strategic Partnerships Coordinator
Branding Coordinator
Position Description
The Branding Coordinator will implement and solidify a consistent Boston Partners brand presence within Boston’s numerous communities. This position will play a pivotal role in dictating how Boston Partners will communicate its mission, values and programs to a wider audience, thereby increasing awareness of our in-school academic mentoring programs and engaging more volunteers to serve more Boston Public Schools students. The VISTA will gain an invaluable opportunity to shape our organization’s brand and image during our 50th Anniversary year, which will garner increased attention for our organization. It will be the responsibility of the Branding Coordinator to incorporate branding recommendations from our previous VISTA into existing and new communications, ensuring Boston Partners in Education’s updated brand is uniform across all platforms. The VISTA will identify sources of brand inconsistency on the web and in the community, and will lead a campaign to analyze public perception of the newly implemented Boston Partners brand. Primary activities will include:
- Facilitating a public relations plan to officially “launch” our re-brand
- Leading a community outreach campaign to promote the Boston Partners’ brand in target communities and neighborhoods
- Analyzing public reception to our re-brand and reporting on the types of outreach that best resonated with our constituents.
