Operations & Development Assistant

POSITION SUMMARY:

Austin Angels is seeking an exceptional Operations & Development Assistant to support the Chief Impact Officer while helping advance the organization's fundraising, partnership, and strategic initiatives.

This is not a traditional administrative role. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves bringing order to complexity, and finds deep satisfaction in ensuring every detail is executed with excellence.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, relentlessly proactive, naturally hospitable, and takes ownership without waiting to be asked. They anticipate needs, solve problems before they become problems, and understand that extraordinary donor experiences are created through thoughtful preparation and consistent follow-through.

This role serves as an operational assistant to the Chief Impact Officer, providing executive support while coordinating donor stewardship, partnership communications, executive scheduling, events, and cross-functional projects. The right person will help ensure our leadership team is prepared, our partners feel exceptionally cared for, and our biggest initiatives move forward with excellence.

We're less concerned with finding someone who has done every aspect of this role before than we are with finding someone who is humble, driven, curious, eager to learn, and committed to excellence. If you're someone who notices the details others miss, loves serving behind the scenes, and finds joy in helping others succeed, we'd love to meet you.

• Empowerment – We empower our community to take action rooted in the belief that we have responsibility to one another. Together, we remove barriers to create lasting change.
• Curiosity – We maintain an attitude of humble curiosity, putting aside judgment to seek truth, knowledge, and understanding. We remain lifelong learners.
• Transformation – We are social entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for the way things are.

Our fast-growing organization has a start-up mentality, paired with a high level of professionalism and drive. There is significant opportunity within our organization, and we are looking for a creative, innovative self-starter who demonstrates passion, professionalism, initiative, positivity, and adaptability.

Established in 2010, Austin Angels walks alongside children, youth, and families in the foster care community by providing consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. Our programs are designed to empower children and strengthen sustainable foster homes through a trauma-informed, wraparound approach. Today, Austin Angels has grown into the…
