Operations Coordinator

GeorgiaFIRST Robotics is hiring a part-time Operations Coordinator to help keep our FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) season running smoothly - events, logistics, volunteers, and everyday ops for a STEM nonprofit that serves more than 15,000 students across Georgia each year. What you’ll do Support planning and on-site execution for kickoffs, qualifiers, championships, and volunteer training. Coordinate event supplies, equipment, signage, hotels, meals, and schedules. Help with FTC volunteer communications, certifications, and team registration/payment tracking. Maintain calendars, checklists, and planning docs, and provide dependable backup coverage for our Executive Director. Peak effort is February through early April. How we work Part-time, exempt, hybrid: primarily remote with weekly in-office staff meetings in Alpharetta and in-person event attendance across Georgia. Competition weekends often mean 3–4 consecutive days on site (including overnight travel). You’ll need to be comfortable on your feet for long event days and lifting up to 40 lbs. Approved travel is covered/reimbursed. You must live in metro Atlanta within a reasonable drive of our Alpharetta office/warehouse. Who thrives here Organized, process-minded, warm communicator. Project management experience is a plus. Passion for STEM, youth development, and the FIRST mission matters - we’re a small staff with 1,000+ volunteers and a ~$1M budget, so relationship‑building and follow‑through go a long way. Compensation Part-time employee; pay relational to experience and market. Travel reimbursement for approved business travel. #J-18808-Ljbffr GeorgiaFIRST Robotics
