We are looking for someone with: 7–15+ years of relevant experience in operations, coordination, chief-of-staff, project/program operations, research center management, or mission-driven organizational support; strong follow-through and attention to commitments; ability to track multiple workstreams without losing the thread; experience supporting a founder, executive director, principal investigator, or small senior team; comfort working in ambiguity and creating order from incomplete information; skill building lightweight systems that people actually use; clear written communication; calm relational judgment; experience with distributed or remote teams; practical comfort with tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, project management platforms, shared dashboards, AI assistants, or lightweight automation tools; interest in sustainability, systems change, organizational learning, research-practice networks, or related fields. Success means that, after several months: active workstreams are visible; major decisions are logged; important meetings generate follow-up; conference dependencies are clearer; communications and web tasks have better upstream inputs; the team has a working operating rhythm; the Executive Director is less responsible for remembering every thread; and TC can see what is slipping before it becomes a problem.
