Job Posting: Membership & Communications Coordinator

Looking for a fulfilling new opportunity? If you have excellent customer service skills, thrive on detail and organization, are an amazing communicator, and love libraries, we want to talk to you! The Wisconsin Library Association (WLA) is seeking a part-time Membership and Communications Coordinator to add to our team.

What Makes This Opportunity Special?

We’re looking for a polished professional eager to help take a small organization to the next level in support of Wisconsin’s library community. As the first point of contact with our organization, you’ll serve as an important ambassador for the association and the WLA Foundation. You’ll use your strong interpersonal skills to help make new members feel welcome and make our current members want to stay with us. You’ll use your organizational skills and eye for detail to maintain and analyze our membership database. You’ll get your creative juices flowing designing our newsletter, updating our website, and creating other member communications. This position offers a lot of variety in a fast-paced, remote environment!

The ideal candidate will be available 20 hours a week/4 hours per business day. We’ll work with you to establish a regular schedule during the core business hours of 9 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. We’ll provide you with the tools you need: a computer, printer, cell phone, and office supplies. While this is an opportunity to work from home, you must be able to travel a few times a year to attend our spring and fall conferences and other events. (You will work more than 20 hours per week during our in-person events and conferences.) Candidates must reside within easy driving distance of Madison (30 – 60-minute commute) for conference preparations and occasional in-person team meetings.

Must be a self-motivated, energetic learner with a good sense of humor!
