Employment at CGU

Closing Date:     Until Filled

The Drucker Institute is a CGU-wide resource that betters society by stimulating effective management and responsible leadership. In early 2009, the Institute launched Drucker Apps, a content and social media platform that ties Peter Drucker’s legacy to today’s headlines. Throughout 2009, the Institute released an issue of Apps every other week; each one contained original video and audio interviews with experts from a range of sectors, links to relevant written sources available on the web, and carefully researched Drucker quotations and archival footage. The Drucker Institute distributes each issue of Drucker Apps to its email list of more than 5,000 people. We regularly reach more than 3,000 Twitter followers with Apps and other content. We recently released a “Drucker Now” iPhone app. And our YouTube channel has received more than 20,000 video views. 

Our communications work is now poised to rapidly grow in both reach and impact. To realize this growth, the Drucker Institute has created a new Communications Manager position that will be dedicated to this work full time.  Salary will be commensurate with experience. The position is based on current and future funding.

1.      Produce and direct a media portfolio consisting of:

a.      Original writing that synthesizes Drucker’s work with ideas from a wide range of other sources, including sources that are not explicitly management related;

b.      Original video and audio interviews with today’s leading management thinkers and doers;

c.       Issues of Drucker Apps, each of which will be based on a unique topic pulled from current events, and will integrate a diverse set of Drucker and non-Drucker based written, video, and audio sources.

2.      Design and implement new interactive capabilities for Drucker Apps, possibly including (but not limited to): a regular reader “talk-back” function, a forum for conversations between and amongst the Drucker Institute and its readers, and a means for recording and reporting how readers put into practice ideas that they encounter in Drucker Apps.

3.      Develop and implement a major new content platform, possibly including (but not limited to): a blog, podcast, or radio show.

4.      Collaborate closely with Drucker Institute staff—specifically those managing the Institute’s marketing efforts—to integrate Drucker Apps, the to-be-determined new content platform, and other Drucker Institute original content, across existing social media tools (Twitter and YouTube). This collaboration is also likely to require the creation and operation of new social media platforms for the Institute, such as Facebook and Tumblr.

5.      Collaborate closely with Drucker Institute staff—specifically those managing the Institute’s marketing efforts—to push integrated content and social media platforms beyond the realm of ideas and into the realm of practice. This will require designing and producing content that stimulates behavior change in the Institute’s readers.

6.      Perform other duties as required.

Be able to take direction well, but also be a self-starter.  Have some knowledge of social media and traditional print or video/audio journalism.  Function well in a fast-paced, start-up environment.
