division

Hello again, everyone,

Beyond Vision has posted another great opportunity... This one for someone
gifted in both project and people management who is ready to move into a
directorship role. This position reports to Jim Kerlin, our President and
CEO, and directs all aspects of our Government Products division, from
overseeing the production and promotion of our existing product lines to
developing new products and securing new business. This person heads up an
experienced team of professionals with lots of combined product experience
who are ready to learn and take on more! This position opens up at a
particularly exciting time as we finalize procurement for two large
military tool kitting projects and as orders for our newly-launched
sit-stand desks steadily rise. That on top of our long-established
Government product lines... Yes! This position will call all program and
project management skills into play and add new ones to boot!

I’m posting the general job ad below and attaching the detailed position
description.

NOTE: This job cannot be performed remotely, but Beyond Vision does assist
substancially with house-hunting and with relocation costs to the Milwaukee
area.

Application instructions are in the posting below. I am looking forward to
getting to know anyone qualified and interested in this role. People who
are blind or visually impaired and who have the necessary qualifications
and experience are strongly encouraged to apply!

Thanks again, everyone!

Sarah
