Description We transform lives.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Run the ELT operating rhythm. Gather leader updates, build agendas, capture decisions, and follow up on every action item until it closes. Drive strategic initiatives from idea to done. Build project plans, set milestones, and check in with owners. Run a shared project board so everyone sees the same status in real time, and flag stalled or competing projects for ELT decisions. Protect the CEO's and Chief of Staff's time. Manage calendars and inboxes, screen and recommend on meeting and speaking requests, prepare briefings before key meetings with donors, funders, and partners, and provide a short daily look‑ahead. Support the Board and its committees. Own calendars, agendas, packets, minutes, and governance records. Keep leadership informed. Prepare concise progress updates for ELT and the Board. Support training and special projects. Coordinate consultant‑led training, culture events such as Refresh, Spiritual Renewal, and the Christmas party, and other organizational projects as they arise.
