WebJob must have AzureWebJobsDashboard setting configured in the portal

I deployed a Web Job and when it ran I got the error that the configuration was not properly set.

I added the connection string to the Web App web.config and redeployed, however it still didn't work. It appears that although the Web Job will have access to this connection string, the dashboard requires it to be added via the portal.
