About The Position

Join us in building a more inclusive world at Braille Institute of America. We are undertaking one of the most transformative initiatives in our history, planning our next century of success in serving the blind and visually impaired communities. Through our 2024-2025 strategic planning process, we identified the next generation opportunities to advance critical initiatives in areas such as customer research; the expansion and transformation of current programs and services; the development of new nationally and internationally accessible programs; the creation of dynamic new strategic partnerships; and the alignment of our mission, strategy, and resources. If you are ready to join a dynamic organization transforming the lives of individuals experiencing vision loss, we want you on our team. At Braille Institute, we are driven by a shared purpose: to serve the blind and low vision community. We come together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, finding fulfillment in the impact we create. We believe in fostering a culture that is collaborative, inclusive, and flexible. We understand the importance of work-life balance, valuing both personal and professional fulfillment. Here, you'll find an environment that supports your well-being while providing opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive alongside colleagues who are sighted and visually impaired. Join us in embracing technology and innovation as we shape the future of accessibility and positively transform the lives of those with vision loss. Braille Institute of America's outreach is the primary way by which we expand our network within the medical communities where we operate our centers. This role will have an impact by expanding our services and programs to members of the blind and low-vision populations. This is not a selling position. It is a relationship-building and network-connecting position. Develop relationships and partnerships with medical professionals, including but not limited to ophthalmologists and optometrists, with the goal of increasing new client referrals to Braille Institute of America.
