This role is pivotal in ensuring that the human resources, administration, and accounting functions operate smoothly for the US/Europe Team. The ideal candidate will be highly detail-oriented, agile, and have strong project management and organizational skills. Responsibilities include supporting HR, assisting with accounts payable and other finance tasks, and providing general operational support. This role would be a great fit for someone hyper-organized who takes pleasure in providing leverage to others, and who wants to play a role in delivering true change to some of those who need it most.
Qualifications:
- 2-5 years of experience in a similar role, preferably in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent organizational skills and natural sense of how to prioritize a wide range of important tasks.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow through and follow up.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with team members at all levels.
- Proficiency in Google Workspace, Microsoft Office Suite and other relevant software applications – you are adept at learning new tools and technologies.
- Self-directed and nimble – you don’t need daily direction from a manager to know how to spend your time. You are an “expert learner” and are naturally curious and good at figuring things out.
- A positive attitude and healthy dose of humility – you know your value and find serving in a supportive role rewarding.
