The Marijuana Policy Project has two new jobs available:
1) IT Director (Washington, D.C.)
The IT Director manages a four-person IT department, which oversees all of MPP’s networking infrastructure, Web development, and data management. MPP is a heavily Apple-based organization, so extensive experience with Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server is essential. Candidates should be comfortable working in both the graphical user environment and at the command line level, as well as generally familiar with and comfortable using UNIX or Linux and Microsoft Windows XP. Experience managing Linux/UNIX servers and/or experience with Windows-based networking is a plus. The position also requires an ease with juggling multiple projects simultaneously and quickly, the ability to translate technical issues into plain English for non-technical staff, and a proven track record of successful project management in a deadline-driven environment.
2) Campaigns Analyst (Minnesota)
The Campaigns Analyst -- who is part of MPP's Minneapolis-based State Campaigns department -- assists with legal research in all areas of state and local ballot initiative law, including signature gathering requirements, campaign finance laws, attorney general opinions, case law, and municipal codes; files all campaign finance reports; ensures that MPP's campaigns and initiatives comply with all relevant laws; advises MPP grantees and others who are running their own local marijuana-related ballot initiative campaigns; and acts as the first point of contact and manage the day-to-day activities for activists who are on the ground in each of MPP's campaign states/locales. A strong preference will be given to candidates who are lawyers, although we will consider other candidates as well.
