Military Veteran Loaned Executive
Milwaukee, WI / Waukesha, WI
Job Description
United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County changes lives and improves our community by mobilizing people and resources to drive strategic impact in health, education, and financial stability. Funds raised by United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County remain local and are invested in 220+ programs at over 110 local nonprofits.
The term Loaned Executive comes from the long history of this program, when local companies used to “loan” one or more of their employees to United Way for the duration of the campaign. Very few companies are able to part with an employee for four months anymore, but they sponsor the program through which we hire individuals directly. To honor that history, we continue to use the term Loaned Executives.
We are currently seeking a Veteran of the US Armed Forces and/or a current Reservist or member of the Wisconsin National Guard to join our Loaned Executive team. The Loaned Executive is a temporary, full-time position from now to December 14, 2022. As a Loaned Executive, you will serve as the liaison between United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County and organizations running workplace campaigns. You will support organization staff in raising the visibility of United Way and running successful campaigns. As a Loaned Executive you will make $1,440 per pay period, equating to $18 per hour.
