Vice President of Operations & Marketing
The Role
As VP of Operations & Marketing, you will be the public face of The PROVENIQ Foundation — in the room with county commissioners, corporate sponsors, and community partners. You will drive fundraising and sponsorship efforts, lead marketing strategy, and help build the operational infrastructure of a growing nonprofit.
This is a founding-stage role with a direct path to Chief Operating Officer as the organization scales to a national platform. We are not looking for someone to fill a seat. We are looking for someone to help build the institution that seat will one day represent.
Key Responsibilities
- Represent The PROVENIQ Foundation externally — in meetings, presentations, and community events.
- Lead corporate sponsorship outreach and close deals, with a primary focus on the Mountain State 100K Challenge & Giveaway (September 19, 2026 · WVU vs. UVA · $1,000,000 sponsorship goal).
- Research and pursue grant opportunities aligned with the Foundation's mission.
- Develop and execute marketing and brand awareness strategies across digital and community channels.
- Support day-to-day operational coordination and help build organizational systems as we scale.
The Mountain State 100K Challenge & Giveaway
The first 100,000 households to register their pet on petmayday.org are entered into a drawing. One winner is selected. If the winner guesses the exact final score of WVU vs. UVA, they win $100,000 in cash and $100,000 goes to WV animal welfare nonprofits. The selected winner is guaranteed $1,000 regardless. This VP owns this campaign.
What We Are Looking For
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills — natural ability to represent an organization at the highest level.
- Background in sales, business development, hospitality leadership, fundraising, or client relations.
- Self-directed and entrepreneurial; comfortable creating structure in a fast-moving environment.
- Grant research or sponsorship sales experience preferred.
- Genuine passion for animal welfare and mission-driven work.
- A love of college football does not hurt in the slightest.
