Project & Work Plan Management

Keep our annual work plan on track.
Support staff, board, and committee alignment with goals.
Pitch in with occasional off-site event support.

What You’ll Bring

Experience in admin and/or finance roles (nonprofit experience a bonus).
Comfort with technology systems and CRMs (Community Suite experience a plus).
Strong organizational and time-management skills.
Clear, friendly, professional communication skills.
Ability to work independently and be a collaborative teammate.
A sense of humor, flexibility, and lots of positive energy.
A commitment to assuming best intent and operating from a place of grace.
