les sez:

"Please do feel free to re-post the Scholarly Communication Senior Program
 Manager position!  I'd like to get as much exposure for it as possible and
 get a top-notch set of candidates.  Much appreciated.  Ideally, yes, the
 position would need to be located in Seattle; but I *might* consider a
 different arrangement for exactly the right person (though doubtful).

"It is a relatively senior-level position reporting to me; no budget
 responsibility or people management, but strategic thinking is
 critical! "
