The Administrative Associate for Learning & Community Engagement (LCE) provides administrative, project management, and strategy support to the foundation’s Learning & Community Engagement team. This position reports to the Vice President of Learning & Community Engagement and supports projects and special initiatives led by the Vice President and Director of Leadership & Capacity Building.

The ideal candidate is skilled at managing multiple, complex projects and thrives in a fast-paced, start-up environment. They bring a strong commitment to equity and justice, value collaborative teamwork, and demonstrate the ability to build authentic, accountable relationships with communities across Washington. Success in this role requires excellent organizational skills, the ability to manage complex schedules, strong attention to detail, clear communication, and proven experience in project management and event planning, along with the ability to remain calm under pressure.

This is a full-time, exempt position. Inatai is proud to be a statewide organization, and we know there are talented leaders everywhere in our state. As we grow and learn, we know that we are better partners to communities and more strategic grantmakers when we have team members rooted in place and bringing their lived and learned experiences to our work.

We are prioritizing the following counties in Washington State to ensure we are fully living up to our commitments to geographic equity:

• Asotin County
• Grays Harbor County
• Klickitat County
• Lewis County
• Skagit County

If you have strong community roots and a passion for making a local impact, we’d love to connect! Leadership lives in every corner of Washington, and we’re excited to meet talented professionals who want to strengthen their communities.

We currently have offices in Seattle and Pasco. Team members connected to an office are expected to work in the office. Team members may be permitted – with supervisor approval – to work remotely up to two days per week. Periodic early morning, evening, and weekend hours will be required, and statewide and regional travel should be expected.
