You have strong oral, written, and non-verbal communication skills, with a particular talent for active listening. You have the ability to work flexible hours needed to complete job requirements, including some nights, weekends, and holidays.

If something does not work, you are seeking different avenues to make it happen. You say, “There was a challenge, this is how we can fix it.” You are able to be creative in designing flyers and utilizing social media to promote events.

What You’ll Get Out of It Professional development to enhance skills and gain expertise in different areas. A comprehensive benefits package. Competitive salary in the nonprofit marketplace commensurate with relevant experience. The salary range for this role is $40,000 - $45,000.
