The Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce is seeking a director of operations and a director of sales and marketing.
The chamber decided to seek two staff members instead of replacing David West, its former executive director who stepped down from the post recently to launch a new church.
Laura Miller, president of the chamber, said the organization wants to be able to have someone who is able to work in the field, while someone else is able to handle duties that must be done in the office.
West said the chamber’s move makes sense.
“I think it’s a smart thing,” West said. “They should do that. The administrative job is a full-time job in a fast-growing chamber like that.”
The chamber is seeking a director of operations who has proven leadership and management skills, according to a chamber news release. The successful candidate will possess strong fiscal, budget and interpersonal skills, and will be able to multi-task.
The chamber would prefer someone who has experience in working with a chamber or other nonprofit organization. Experience with event planning, a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent experience/education and the ability to use QuickBooks also are important.
The salary for the job will be in the mid-$30,000 range and will include bonus incentives, health insurance allowance and mileage allowance.
The director of sales and marketing requires an individual with strong sales and marketing skills as well as excellent communications and time management skills.
The position also requires someone who is highly self-motivated and creative.
The compensation for this position includes draw/commission, bonus incentives and a mileage allowance.
Resumes for these positions can be e-mailed to or can be mailed to the Greater Wesley Chamber of Commerce, Interview Committee, 29142 Chapel Park Drive, Wesley Chapel, 33543.
