Komen Posts Job Listing for Position That Looks Suspiciously Like Karen Handel’s

Komen Posts Job Listing for Position That Looks Suspiciously Like Karen Handel'sIn the middle of the firestormy crap tornado that engulfed Susan G. Komen for the Cure last week, a little job listing was quietly posted in a DC paper's classified section. Could it be for Karen Handel's replacement?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves — Karen Handel hasn't resigned (yet), but as pressure for her to quit grows, it seems like odd timing for the organization to post an ad that looks a lot like it's an ad to fill the embattled Senior Vice President of Public Policy's shoes. The ad is for a Director of Public Policy — are we just mincing labels here? Director, Senior Vice President — tomato, tomahto.

The position is DC-based, and requires "7+ years of experience on Capitol Hill and/or in government affairs or nonprofit advocacy."

Lingering baggage and public relations headache from previous Public Policy jobholder(s) is included as part of compensation package.
