How does this sound to you: being part of a non-profit organization that makes it possible for someone to receive a corneal transplant that will restore their sight?
If this sounds like you, the Community & Professional Relations Coordinator position might be your perfect fit!
Our organization exists to restore hope for people like Kelly. Fuch’s dystrophy had been affecting Kelly’s life since her early 20’s. She had her left eye transplant on April 12, 2023 – four days after she suffered a severely broken foot because she couldn’t see the curb. She had her right eye transplant in June 2023. Kelly is grateful to the donors who gave her the chance to see clearly again. She now experiences this beautiful world through three points of view, and will never take one day of this opportunity for granted. You could be the person behind the scenes, helping Kelly tell her story so that others may be impacted and inspired.
As a Community and Professional Relations Coordinator, you will need to be a self-motivated individual, accomplishing goals independently and contributing to team goals. You should have the ability to think strategically, have strong interpersonal communication skills, and be able to keep your work and schedule organized as it can change frequently. This includes some in-state travel, primarily in the metro Denver area, interacting with external partners in different environments such as hospitals, Lions club meetings, and funeral homes. The ideal candidate has an outgoing personality, able to draw people in at a trade show and educate them on the eye donation process. You will also get the exciting opportunity to work on a partnership with the Denver Broncos, sharing the part the eye bank plays in restoring sight through storytelling, in-game promotion and online engagement.
As part of a small team of coordinators, you will also help with storytelling and content creation, using applications such as Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite. Our current team has a strong skill set and many strengths, and we would love to add a team member who also has some knowledge of generating reports through Microsoft Power Bi or relevant/equivalent experience.
