The Internet Archive is seeking a Partner Development Manager for Archive-It, a web archiving service, to work in our San Francisco offices.
This is not a sales position in the traditional sense as the Internet Archive was founded as a non profit and is both a vendor and a partner to our participating institutions; although the ideal candidate is adept at prospecting, generating interest in the service, and closing business.
Archive-It enables our 130+ library and archive partners to capture and manage the highest quality content from the web. Internet Archive is a 501 c (3) and was founded in 1996 as a Digital Library. First deployed in 2006, Archive-It partner institutions include University libraries, State Archives/Libraries, NGO’s, Museums, Public Libraries and Federal Institutions.
The ideal candidate for this position is resourceful, flexible, highly collaborative and has a strong commitment to the goals and values of the Internet Archive mission. Experience working with Libraries, Archives, Museums and other memory institutions is highly desirable.

From SFist:
One of San Francisco’s unique gems is the Mechanics’ Institute, tucked away behind the McKesson building near the foot of Post Street. Originally created in the wake of the Gold Rush to offer technical education for all those scruffy dudes coming down from the Sierras empty-handed, the Institute’s current building, constructed in the wake of the 1906 earthquake, is an architectural treasure that houses a chess room, a cafe and event space, and a members-only library with two magnificent reading rooms. The big, comfy arm-chairs are reason enough to join, let alone the knowledgeable librarians and the quarter-million books available to check out – it’s basically the cheapest, least snooty private club in town.
If you just want to check the place out, Thursday’s day-long celebration of the building’s centennial includes tours, refreshments and a variety of talks about San Francisco history.
