Lireina ni Dormerus t'al`Bearach
Aes Sedai
It makes me sad to say that our wonderful Director of Marketing, Arie, has decided to take a well earned respite and hand over the reins of the Marketing department to another set of capable hands. She's accomplished a great deal in her three years in this role- revamping our community logos, getting the Avendesora up and on membership pages, and not actually blowing the Tower up. 
Her presence in Exec will missed, but means it's time to bring in some new blood. 
The Director of Marketing is an Executive position and as such will have all responsibilities inherent in that position, such as working with other Directors and Officers, providing counsel to other Executives when asked, and managing the Department of Marketing. This position works closely with all Directors; much of this Department's work is given to it by other Executives and administrators, and needs to be completed in a timely fashion to keep everything running smoothly. The Director of Marketing reports directly to the Keeper of the Chronicles.
Duties and Responsibilities
Requirements- As always, if you feel you are close to the requirements listed but not 100% there, please apply anyway.
Experience with the following is a plus but not required:
If you are interested in applying for this position, please email amyrlin@tarvalon.net and keeper@tarvalon.net no later than MARCH 24th, 2017. Please put APPLICATION - DIRECTOR OF MARKETING - YOURNAME as your subject line. Please indicate how you meet the requirements above, why you are interested in the position, any ideas you have for the department and a link to your portfolio. If you have a resume you believe would be helpful to us you are welcome to include it.
Good luck to all the applicants!
