Discounts Manager - Connecticut Library Consortium, Middletown, CT. Are
you ready to put your library services passion and skills to use for
the betterment of library users across Connecticut? Do you have expert
negotiation skills and in-depth knowledge of all types of libraries and
the products and services they use? Do you have an MLS or MLIS from an
ALA-accredited program (preferred) and at least 3 years experience
working in a library setting? If so, the Connecticut Library Consortium
(CLC) - a non-profit, statewide membership collaborative serving all
types of Connecticut libraries - would like to hear from you. As CLC’s
Discounts Manager, you will be the person to whom library staff across
Connecticut turn when they need expert advice on what to buy, from books
to e-resources to furnishings. You’ll utilize the power of over 800
library members to negotiate deep discounts on library products and
services. You’ll
evaluate potential products for their ability to meet member needs,
negotiate contracts with vendors and suppliers, and manage CLC’s
publicly-bid contracts. You’ll serve as CLC’s primary liaison with
vendors, and you’ll help libraries maximize use of their products by
developing and delivering product training and marketing materials.
You'll stay on top of product trends by attending library conferences
and trade shows and meeting with a wide variety of library vendors.
Apply by October 30. For further details, visit ctlibrarians.org/DiscountsManager.
