• Manage and improve Google Workspace, including shared drives, calendars, documents, permissions, and file organization.
• Build consistent systems for project tracking, document management, knowledge sharing, and team collaboration.
• Evaluate and use appropriate AI and automation tools for meeting notes, transcription, information organization, and workflow efficiency.
• Help staff, board members, and partners use the Foundation’s digital tools effectively.

• Coordinate board and committee schedules, agendas, materials, presentations, meeting notes, and follow-up.
• Maintain accurate board, committee, donor, partner, and organizational records with appropriate confidentiality.

• Maintain communications calendars, contacts, and digital assets.
• Coordinate logistics, schedules, materials, and follow-up for events, programs, and special initiatives.

• Experience in nonprofit operations or management, including project coordination and work with senior leadership, board members, and donors; a high degree of discretion and confidentiality is essential.
• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines.
• Strong Google Workspace proficiency and ability to learn, manage, and improve digital platforms.
• Strong writing, interpersonal communication, judgment, initiative, and independent problem-solving skills.
• Comfort with AI tools and interest in practical workflow improvements. Experience with Mailchimp, Word Press, Canva, project management platforms, or CRM systems is helpful.

You are a strong project manager who can keep several initiatives moving at once, establish priorities, track progress, and ensure follow-through. You are comfortable working with senior leaders, board members, donors, and external partners while handling the practical details that keep an organization running well. You are proactive, resourceful, discreet, and self-directed.
