  • Handle a variety of administrative projects and day-to-day office responsibilities

What We're Looking For

  • Previous receptionist, administrative assistant, front desk, or customer service experience
  • Professional communication skills, both in person and over the phone
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including navigating and updating existing spreadsheets
  • Ability to multitask and work effectively in a fast-paced office environment
  • Experience with DocuSign is a plus
  • Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a desire to grow professionally

Why This Opportunity?

  • Exposure to executive-level support and board interactions
  • Position offers meaningful growth and expanded administrative responsibilities
  • Potential to transition into a permanent role with long-term career development opportunities
  • Collaborative, professional, and mission-focused workplace culture



Qualifications:

• Previous experience in a receptionist, front desk, or administrative support role.
• Intermediate proficiency with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, along with general familiarity with Office 365 tools.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with staff, visitors, and community contacts.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate records and reports.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks at once while staying organized in a fast-paced office setting.
