Membership Assistant

The Marijuana Policy Project is hiring a Membership Assistant to work in its Membership Department.

This is a full-time, paid internship; it pays $9 per hour, and applicants should be able to commit to working for at least four months (although longer is welcomed). Most MPP interns are recent or semi-recent grads, although that's not required.

This position is a chance for a meticulous, detail-oriented person to play a crucial and responsible role in a successful nonprofit organization.

Responsibilities

The Membership Assistant is responsible for two key areas:

• Researching prospective donors, which involves substantial Internet research.
• Keeping MPP members' and other supporters' information continuously up-to-date in MPP's database. (This includes updating street addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other information.)

Additional tasks may occasionally be assigned as well.

Qualifications

First and foremost, the Membership Assistant must be meticulous and have an exacting attention to detail.

Candidates should also have strong Internet research skills, the ability to work independently, and a professional demeanor. The position does not require experience with using databases, although the Membership Assistant will need to become proficient in using MPP's database.

Candidates should expect a fast-paced, professional environment.

To Apply

To apply for this position, please follow MPP's internship application process. Please e-mail internships@mpp.org if you have any questions about this internship.
