Marketing Communications Coordinator

Would you like to be a key member of a company involved in the revolutionary development of a whole new lithium-ion battery?  My client is an emerging portable power company answering the call for safer, longer lasting Lithium-ion batteries. The company is led by a CEO and Founder who is one of the world's foremost authorities in battery system innovation and design, and backed by leading venture capital firms. Their innovative systems approach to portable power and application-specific batteries starts with safety, while achieving next-generation performance gains. Founded in 2005, the company is headquartered in Massachusetts with Six Sigma-level manufacturing operations in China.

It is a Marcom role and some other special projects working with our CEO.  She is very externally focused right now with potential customers, trade analysts and other public relations activities.  She is also our main spokesperson at trade shows and conferences.  So I think someone that has a Marcom background would be a good fit but needs to be capable of more.  Working on anything from coordinating our activity at conferences, brochures and printing, communications with customers and business partners, helping pull together powerpoint slides for customers, BOD meetings, etc, etc, etc.  High energy and drive is very important as our CEO is very driven and active on a lot of fronts.  Someone with experience in a successful start-up situation from early stage to eventual exit would be really good.  I think salary will be in the $80k range, maybe more for a real superstar.
