The International Examiner
The Journal of the Northwest Asian Pacific Communities

Job title: Development Coordinator
Reports to: Editor in Chief
Number of hours: Part-time, 20 hours a week, full-time possibility
Pay rate: Negotiable

The Development Coordinator is responsible for increasing the capacity of the International Examiner through funding and raising the visibility of the publication through PR events.

The Development Coordinator’s duties include researching, applying for, and following up on grants; managing and coordinating fundraising events (our annual InspirAsian Fashion Show is in May, the Community Voice Awards in the Fall); and strategize ways to increase and strengthen the visibility and circulation of the paper throughout the greater Seattle region and Pacific Northwest.

The vision is to expand the publication across the Pacific Northwest and transform the IE into not only a newspaper publication, but an institution that mentors youths and organizes communities, but to do so, requires a team effort and funding from many avenues.

The IE prefers an applicant who has experience writing grants, coordinating events (especially fundraisers), has community relationships, impeccable writing skills, and is a creative thinker.

This position is part-time to begin, but has potential to grow into a full-time position, if the applicant is successful in securing funds for the IE.

A cover letter, resume, and writing samples can be send directly to Diem Ly at editor@iexaminer.org.
