The Boston Preservation Alliance is the city’s oldest historic preservation advocacy organization.  We are continuing along a trajectory of growing support through programs, social media outreach, education programming, and an annual awards program. We work with a diversity of partners and constituents interested in balancing preservation of the city’s historic character with the city’s growth, evolution and vibrancy. Our supporters include individuals, organizations, other non-profits, and corporations across the spectrum of the real estate and design communities.

The Alliance seeks an energetic, well-organized, and outgoing individual to manage the operational and communication aspects of this successful and growing non-profit. We require excellent writing and interpersonal skills, the ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment as part of a small but dedicated staff, and the flexibility to manage evening and early morning meetings and events in this exempt, salaried position.

While an interest in our core mission to “protect places, promote vibrancy, and preserve character” is desirable, this position does not require historic preservation training or experience. A passion for the uniqueness of a city like Boston and a desire to share that enthusiasm is needed as is experience in communicating with a constituent base, and running essential aspects of a busy, small office.

Each member of our small staff reports to the Executive Director and works closely with him, the board of Directors and committees to assure the successful operation of the Alliance. This job provides many opportunities for an enthusiastic and creative thinker who successfully balances day-to-day administrative tasks with new ideas and an eagerness to help grow the organization’s base of support. This is the perfect opportunity to help mold and hone an already successful organization.

Qualifications:

Experience desired in non-profit administration, communications, social media/website management, prospect/membership-database management, QuickBooks, program and event logistics, promotion, and marketing.  Experience with graphic design helpful but not required. Excellent communication skills are essential.

Software skills needed include MSOffice, QuickBooks, Photoshop, and Adobe Contribute.  We require an undergraduate degree and at least two years professional experience in an office setting.
