Director of Operations

Employment Type: Part-time - approx. 20 hours/week

Our client is a passion project created by people who have experience caregiving for individuals with dementia. Launched about a year ago as a community built by and for dementia caregivers, offering insights, solutions, and relief day and night. DCC provides practical guidance, compassionate resources, and community connection - including articles, caregiver suggestions, and audio content - to families navigating dementia care, all free and donation-supported.
The Director of Operations will take on DCC's day-to-day operational work - finance, content and program oversight, partnerships, and administrative support - working alongside a small, engaged team. This person will work largely independently, checking in for input and direction, with direct access to the Board and close, ongoing collaboration with DCC's technology marketing company on new content, campaigns, and digital initiatives. This is a part-time, remote, contract role (~20 hours/week) with frequent meetings with the DCC team and prospective donors.
