Note: this description is intended to give you a general overview of the position and is not an exhaustive listing of duties and responsibilities.

Why the NNA

Professional development -- not only are we the leading marketing organization in our space, but marketing also is a major emphasis at the NNA. You'll work with people who have deep experience and track records of success, and you'll expand your experience in multiple channels. For example, you may have read in a textbook that direct mail is "dead," but we'll show you how effective it can be, especially integrated with other channel tactics.

Career growth -- our hope is that, within a relatively short time, you will prove yourself capable of managing campaigns independently. A longer-term goal is that you are able to become a Marketing Program Manager yourself; you might also pursue other opportunities within Marketing or even other areas of the NNA.

Positive, dynamic environment -- we are implementing change across our entire organization, laying the groundwork for significant growth. You'll find a supportive leadership team and a culture that is progressive and open to transformation. You also will find some old-fashioned values, like an unwavering commitment to the moral and ethical integrity that is fundamental to the Notary Public profession.

The nation's leader -- none of our competitors even come close to NNA's size, scope and influence. We offer services and products for every stage of a Notary's career, from obtaining an original commission to ongoing education, professional supplies, bonds and insurance, emerging technologies, and more.

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive base salary and incentive program, we also provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, life, and disability insurance; a 401(k) profit sharing plan; and generous paid time off.

Pictured: another benefit of NNA membership is The National Notary magazine, our award-winning flagship member publication and one of the world’s most widely read periodicals for Notaries.

Keys to Success

This is not an online program management role, although online strategies figure strongly into our campaigns; to excel here you must be motivated to leverage all the channels and to explore the synergies between and among them. While we're looking for a strong person, you also will need to recognize the importance of teaming with others to succeed -- oversized egos don't work well in our environment. We'll look to you to maintain an open mind and a desire to learn new things -- ideally you will be naturally inquisitive and driven to figure out how and why things work the way they do, and how you can make work them better.
