This role is ideal for a proactive professional who enjoys variety, values collaboration, and can anticipate needs before they arise. You’ll work closely with the CEO and Special Projects Manager to ensure priorities are clear, projects move forward, and the organization is always ready for what comes next.

• Support high-impact initiatives: help coordinate projects, events, and cross-departmental work that advance our mission.
• Strengthen governance: support the Board of Directors with meeting logistics, materials, and follow-up, helping them operate efficiently and effectively.
• Maintain smooth operations: track key projects, manage expenses, organize files, and identify opportunities to improve processes.
