Development Coordinator

Los Angeles, CA This position is an in-office role

Orange Barrel Media creates and operates iconic urban media displays that advertisers ask for by name in 27 of the top markets in the U.S. Since our founding in 2004, OBM has pioneered a community-oriented model of outdoor media development and is now nationally recognized by cities and real estate owners alike seeking to implement best-in-class programs that add to the character of urban places. To this end, OBM has pioneered zoning changes allowing spectacular signage in several markets (and growing), including Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Denver, and other high barrier-to-entry markets. In the advertising community, OBM is widely recognized as the owner of the highest impact and most memorable advertising locations in the cities where it operates. OBM displays are consistently selected as the centerpiece of clients' outdoor advertising campaigns.

The OBM team is also a leader in smart city infrastructure, launching the interactive kiosk experience ("IKE") platform in concert with cities across the United States through the company IKE Smart City. IKE is a breakthrough citizen engagement platform that helps cities communicate with the public, improve the pedestrian experience, and tell the story of their city. Our commitment to innovation and ongoing investment in software development has created the true smart city hub : a multi-lingual, open, and flexible platform with integrated features, functions, services, and resources that provide cities and the public with everything they need to navigate their city, all in one place. The core tenets of the IKE platform are public benefit and social equity, two values that we seek to maximize in every IKE market through the formation of public-private partnerships that achieve city objectives, exceed community expectations and build smart cities.

The Development Coordinator supports Senior Development Director, Development Directors, and Development Managers in their efforts to increase the number of large-format signs and IKE kiosks throughout the country. This includes assisting with administrative tasks, organizing materials related to deals with private property owners and quasi-governmental institutions, and ensuring permits for operation in cities where outdoor advertising may not otherwise be permissible. The successful candidate will be organized, detail-oriented, a creative problem solver, a self-starter, and passionate about urban development and technology.

• Providing administrative support to the Senior Development Director, Development Director and Development Manager, including scheduling meetings, preparing documents, and managing correspondence.
