Job posting for non-profit GreenMap Project Manager/Project Proposal Writer

Project Proposal Writer/ Project Manager for PDX Green Map Project

This Project Manager/ Proposal Writer (PMPW) will provide services to the Green Map Steering Committee, a coalition of volunteers representing several local agencies and organizations coming together to create a website, the Green Map (working title), with specific goals in mind. 

The ideal candidate will be able to manage the production of a comprehensive project proposal document that can be used to both raise awareness and funds for this project.  The project proposal document will speak to several different audiences and will need to exist both as an all text "white paper" and as a visually dynamic "designed document''.  Parts and pieces of both the white paper and the designed document will be used to fulfill grant submission requirements. 

The Green Map Steering Committee has started a project proposal document draft with some graphics, data and other elements already existing.  The PMPW can draw upon those existing pieces and should improve them.  The PMPW will also create new elements of the proposal as needed and will design the overall proposal ensuring that information is consistent, compelling and creates a positive "identity" for the Green Map project. 

Beginning immediately upon selection in early June, the PMPW will help set intermediate deadlines for different portions of the proposal production and all aspects will be complete by July 30th, 2010.  The person selected must be available to attend GreenMap Committee meetings held from 5:40 pm to 7:00 pm the first Wednesday of each month, and hold a series (3 minimum, 6 maximum) of evening work sessions where committee members are able to see periodic progress on the proposal and provide input.
