ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Grants: Many of our clients are nonprofits, and we often work with them to help them write grants for projects that they have hired us for or that we are collaborating on. In addition, TESA has nonprofit sponsors for specific programs that we initiate and run in house. This includes new product and program development. This position will be responsible for building a grant program, managing a grant calendar, finding new grants for TESA to apply to, coordinating the writing and application of grants, and working with our clients to develop their grants. This position will also be responsible for brainstorming which TESA projects could make for good grant matches.
Crowdfunding: TESA has run a number of crowdfunding initiatives in the past, our most recent being a Kickstarter for Rise Up: The Game of People & Power. We intend to increase this to at least a yearly effort going forward for our products. This position will be responsible for helping to design, implement, and carry out our crowdfunding initiatives. These will primarily be for our products and games.
Supporting Sales: This position will support in the sales of TESA’s products. This will happen through outreach to individuals, organizations, social media, advertisements, and so on.
Social media, email newsletter, press releases, media relations, and digital outreach:TESA uses digital communications to sell our products, share news, update people about our work, get them involved in creating our resources, fundraise for our projects, and more. This position will manage our social media, a regular email newsletter, send occasional press releases, and occasionally pitch stories to media.
Occasional article and blog writing: One of TESA’s significant communications strategies in the past has been writing for media outlets and regularly updating our own blog. You can read a sample article and check out our blog. We’re looking for someone who can help us expand upon this strategy and who is interested in writing.
