CKXU JOB OPPORTUNITY - FUNdrive Coordinator

This notice is from the archives of The Notice Board. Information contained in this notice was accurate at the time of publication but may no longer be so.

Assistant to the Executive Director/Station Manager, the FUNdrive Coordinator will help plan and execute CKXU’s annual week-long fundraising endeavour FUNdrive 2016, held between March 18th – 25th 2016

 

Background:

FUNdrive is the time of year where CKXU actively solicits the public for donations. Over the course of that week, CKXU changes in many ways:

  • On-Air programming shifts focus towards educating listeners on the many reasons for donating to CKXU
  • CKXU DJs offer “swag incentives” to listeners who pledge cash to CKXU in support of the  FUNdrive
  • FUNdrive themed-events happen around the city, encouraging the public to come and celebrate the many ways CKXU contributes culturally to the City of Lethbridge
  • CKXU uses the money to fund day-to-day station activity, matching grants, and new broadcast gear! Every little bit helps! 

 

Specific areas of responsibilities include, but are not limited to:  

 

  • Identifying and developing relationships with new potential donors, and nurturing existing relationships
  • Working with CKXU’s Marketing Committee to make decisions relating to merchandise items (or “swag”) and the branding of 2016 FUNdrive events
  • Working with CKXU’s Fundraising Committee to make decisions regarding 2016 FUNdrive events
  • Working with the Station Manager to track/manage pledges and donations during FUNdrive 2016
  • Working with the Program Director to ensure that all CKXU DJ’s are properly trained and fully prepared for their radio program during FUNdrive week
  • Working with CKXU’s Volunteer Coordinator to ensure volunteer positions are filled for all volunteer shifts related to the day-to-day operations of FUNdrive 2016
  • Working with the Station Manager and CKXU Treasurer to ensure all pledges and donations are reconciled after FUNdrive 2016 – this includes coordinating “CKXU Swag Pickup Events” in the months following
  • Please note: During the week of FUNdrive (March 18th – 25th), it will be required that the candidate be present at CKXU headquarters to aid in overseeing much of the FUNdrive admin processes. This will likely be a large time commitment.

 

 

Qualifications:

  • Previous experience with a CKXU FUNdrive or another fundraiser is a strong asset
  • Previous experience organizing events
  • A good understanding of brand marketing
  • Exceptional time management and organizational skills
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Excellent computer skills (Microsoft Office Suite, Google Drive, Email)

  • Ability to work well in a team environment
  • A good understanding of the CKXU Radio Society as an organization and radio station
  • Willing to work flexible hours – weekends/evenings if needed
  • Familiarity with the University of Lethbridge and the general Lethbridge area

Benefits:

 

  • Helping the CKXU Radio Society grow and better support the community it serves!
  • Shared office space located on campus in the University of Lethbridge Students’ Union Building
  • Working in a genuinely fun environment
