At NoveList, we believe that books and libraries have the power to transform lives. NoveList has been helping readers find their next favorite book for more than 25 years and continues to develop innovative solutions for connecting readers, books, and libraries. If you have a passion for books, reading, and public libraries, this is the place for you!

The role:

We’re looking for an Engagement Consultant to support two key efforts of the Engagement & Services team: product engagement and Learn With NoveList. While our division is located in Durham, NC, this is a remote position.

The product engagement efforts include reviewing customer accounts to identify opportunities and develop strategies for libraries to become more effective at reaching readers, promoting their collections, and marketing their programs and services.

In support of Learn With NoveList, you will manage a wide range of responsibilities, from general administration of the site, uploading materials, and moderating discussion forums to creating and delivering live and recorded presentations on topics important to libraries.

The ideal candidate:

In addition to meeting the requirements below, as the ideal candidate you will be familiar with the challenges that public libraries face, have working knowledge of communication and marketing strategies, and enjoy problem-solving with others. You have strong analytical skills, are customer-focused, detail-oriented, and self-motivated. You’re good at editing text as well as videos and enjoy learning new software. Building relationships comes naturally to you, and you value diversity, equality, and inclusion. You’re organized and good at follow-through. You thrive on feedback, both giving and receiving it.

The responsibilities:

Review key customer accounts and develop tailored engagement plans to drive satisfaction, product adoption and increased usage. Develop, deliver, and measure the success of these plans.  

  • Monitor product usage against key performance metrics to gauge engagement and product adoption; identify risks and provide interventions as needed
  • Review key customer accounts and develop tailored engagement plans to engage customers, drive satisfaction, product adoption and increase usage
  • Represent the “voice of the customer” in collaborations with product management and other teams
  • Host live webinars and develop and deliver trainings drawing on your expertise and thought leadership
  • Edit video footage and prepare recorded presentations for posting to training site
  • Manage recording sessions with instructors and review curriculum and materials
  • Assist on other department projects as needed

Whom you’ll work with:

You’ll be a member of the Engagement and Services team which plays a valuable role in the success of NoveList products. We are a creative group of accomplished professionals that love what we do to support the important work of public libraries. We believe strongly in teamwork; we are all willing to roll up our sleeves and pitch in to help each other when needed.  We value differences and enjoy learning from one another.

The Engagement Specialist reports to the Manager of Engagement and Services. You’ll work most closely with the Senior Engagement Consultant to help libraries leverage their product subscriptions and develop plans to increase usage; you also work closely with her on our new Learn With NoveList online course platform. Two graphic designers and a fellow Engagement Specialist round out the team.   

You’ll also work closely with our Product Management and Technical Support teams to ensure customers understand how to use our products. Finally, you will collaborate with the Sales & Marketing, Book Discovery, and Technology teams on a variety of projects.

What this job requires:

  • Bachelor’s degree or similar education in marketing, communications, education, or related field
  • 2+ years of proven experience in successfully writing, producing, and delivering online training or teaching
  • 2+ years working in marketing, public relations, communications, or a related field
  • Experience in video creation and editing (using Camtasia, Vimeo, YouTube, or similar)
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher)
  • Ability to travel occasionally when needed

What will set you apart from the rest:

  • Knowledge and a keen interest in the public library market including readers’ advisory and library marketing.
  • Demonstrated ability to think strategically and proactively
  • Experience with a library, publisher or library-focused organization as an employee or volunteer
  • Extensive experience presenting at conferences
  • Excellent organizational and project management skills, able to keep multiple projects with varying timelines on schedule
  • Experience with the NoveList suite of products, including LibraryAware.
  • Video production experience

If you feel that you meet some but not all the requirements, don’t let a confidence gap stop you from applying. Sometimes a list of “preferred qualifications” can miss the elements that would most strengthen our team; we value the many different skills which make all of us unique. EBSCO is an equal opportunity employer.
