The Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce is a 1,200-member organization serving as a catalytic leader for our regional economy. We bring together business, civic, and community leaders to drive collaboration, advocacy, and programs that strengthen economic opportunity and quality of life in Lane County.

While non-partisan, the Chamber is not neutral on issues that impact the business community and regional prosperity. We are a mission‑driven organization that values clarity, collaboration, and thoughtful systems that support people doing meaningful work.

Are you someone who brings structure, clarity, and follow‑through to everything you touch? Do you naturally create systems, timelines, and checklists—and then use them to keep work moving forward? If you are highly organized, proactive in your communication, and take pride in closing loops so nothing gets missed, this role may be a strong fit.

The Director of Operations & Administration serves as the operational backbone of the Chamber, owning the systems, processes, and day‑to‑day coordination that keep the organization running smoothly. This includes documenting and maintaining internal processes, managing administrative workflows and logistics, supporting onboarding and staff transitions, and tracking action items and deadlines through completion.

This role requires exceptional organization, disciplined follow‑through, and proactive communication. You are someone who notices gaps early, flags issues before they become problems, and keeps others informed without being asked. You bring order to fast‑moving situations and help the team stay aligned, prepared, and on track.

You’ll work closely with senior leadership and collaborate across departments as a trusted operational partner who raises the organization’s standard for clarity and consistency. While we’ll train you on our tools and systems, your baseline matters: you are dependable, detail‑oriented, comfortable handling confidential information, and confident managing multiple priorities with care and precision.

This is a fast‑paced, dynamic role for someone who genuinely enjoys making things run well and takes satisfaction in reliability, accuracy, and follow‑through. For the right person, it’s a meaningful opportunity to play a central role in a mission‑driven organization and make a visible impact every day.

The Director of Operations & Administration is responsible for execution, coordination, and implementation of established policies, processes, and systems.
