> challenges, and also has the potential to create important public benefits.
> 
> Description
> The Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that PP&L meets sales and 
> marketing goals over the next three years, as set forth in its business plan. 
> The Coordinator will work with other staff, the Board and Advisory Committees, 
> and consultants to continually improve PP&L's marketing plan. The Coordinator 
> will be responsible for successfully implementing the marketing plan by 
> directing his/her own activities, volunteers, and occasional contractors. It is 
> not anticipated that the Coordinator will have reporting staff, and as such 
> this will be a very "hands-on" position. In many ways, the Coordinator will

> 
> Examples of specific tasks that the Coordinator will be responsible for include:
> 
> o Coordinating with volunteers, other staff, and vendors to design, produce and 
> use effectively marketing tools such as websites, brochures, press releases, 
> direct mail and other letters, etc.
> 
> o Organize and staff workshops, field trips, tables at events, press events, 
> and presentations to other groups.
> 
> o Nurture relationships with existing marketing partners, and establish new 
> marketing relationships.
> 
> o Through out, communicate the importance of greater use of renewable energy, 
> and why PP&L's product offerings are the best way for consumers to advance 
> greater use of renewable energy through private action, and ways to support 
> public action for greater use of renewable energy.
> 
> o Collecting and analyzing data necessary to determine the effectiveness of the 
> marketing plan and specific campaigns, and developing recommendations based on 
> this analysis.
> 
> o Leading the development or refinement of marketing plans, by obtaining 
> necessary information and working with volunteers, consultants, contractors, and staff.
> 
> Regular travel around Rhode Island, and less frequently in the Boston area, 
> will be required.

> general administration of the organization (eg answering the phone, occasional 
> administrative tasks, etc.).

> Qualifications
> The successful applicant will have 3-5 years experience in marketing, and 
> perhaps some sales experience as well. The successful applicant will likely 
> have training in marketing, either through higher education or in-house 
> training programs with other companies. Applicants should be familiar with the 
> organizations, businesses, demographics, and geography of Rhode Island. 
> Although knowledge of energy issues and technologies is desirable, training can 
> be provided to otherwise qualified candidates.
> 
> Applicants should be goal oriented and personally committed to and believe in 
> the mission of PP&L. The position will require the ability to prioritize, and 
> strong organizational skills.
> 
> The position requires someone who is a strong self-starter, shows initiative, 
> and is effective with minimal direction. The position also requires the ability 
> to work effectively with a range of other players, including volunteers, junior 
> and senior staff both from within the organization and with other 
> organizations, consultants, and vendors. The Coordinator will be ultimately 
> responsible to PP&L's Executive Director, but will also report to and be 
> directed by the Mass Energy/PP&L Joint Venture Manager and Mass Energy's Green 
> Energy Program Coordinator.
