• Coordinating ongoing trade arrangements with various national associations and other groups

• Representing Inside Higher Ed at conferences of higher education professionals around the country as needed

• Tracking expenses to help prepare annual marketing budgets

• Managing marketing materials (proofreading, printing, shipping, inventory control)

Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree, solid writing skills, terrific customer service, and an exposure to conference management, event planning, or similar activities. Experience with SalesForce (or a similar customer relationship management tool), Excel, Outlook, Vertical Response, and StrongMail, would be very desirable, but not required.

Inside Higher Ed offers competitive pay, good benefits (including health, dental and life insurance premiums paid by us, and 401(k)), and three weeks’ vacation.
