What we're about
We're a youth nonprofit chasing one goal: 10,000 students by 2030. We get there by giving young people experiences most of them never get — a high ropes course, conferences of 200 to 300 people, and time with the kind of people who don't usually make room for them. Behind every one of those moments is a lot of moving parts: events, programs, facilitators, deadlines, handoffs.
We're hiring someone to hold all of it together — to keep the work across our program teams on track, catch what's about to slip before it does, and build the systems that let the whole thing run without anyone hovering over it.
The basics
This is a full-time, hybrid role with a salary range of $90,000–$110,000. We're glad to talk openly about where you'd fall within it from the start.
What you'd own
You sit at the center of how the work gets done — across events, program, and facilitators, holding the threads no one else is holding.
- The projects across all our program teams: who owes what, by when, and what's quietly falling behind.
- The early-warning system — spotting the deadline that's about to wobble and chasing it down before it becomes a fire.
- The processes that keep us moving: building them where they're missing, fixing them where they break, and making them better every time we run them.
- The handoffs between teams, so things stop falling into the gaps between people.
- This whole machine — owned well enough that leadership can stop tracking it, because you are.
Who you are
You're the person who already, quietly, keeps things from falling apart — and you've probably been doing it without the title. You like a dozen threads in the air, and you're calmest when you can see all of them.
You project-manage by instinct. You can hold competing deadlines across teams, decide what matters most when three people need you at once, and notice the thing that's slipping while it's still early enough to fix.
You build and improve processes rather than just following them. Handed something messy or broken, you don't just push through it once — you make it work better the next time, and the time after that.
You figure things out on your own. We're a lean team, so when a problem has no obvious answer, we need you to find one rather than bring it back to us. Resourcefulness here isn't a bonus; it's the job.
You believe there's no task beneath you. You'll redesign a whole workflow and fix the one broken cell in a spreadsheet in the same hour, and you won't think the second part is below you.
This is not for you if
We'd genuinely rather you find this out now than in month two — for your sake as much as ours.
- You've never really run projects, or you only follow processes other people built rather than building your own.
- You need someone tracking you. If the work only moves when a manager is chasing you, this is the wrong seat — the whole point is the reverse.
- You freeze when a problem has no clear answer.
- You can track everything but can't decide what matters most when it all lands at once.
- You want a big team and a lot of structure around you. We're small, which means more ownership and less hand-holding than most places.
Why this is worth leaving something good for
If you do this well, here's what's true in eighteen months: the program teams run smoothly because someone's finally holding the whole picture, things stop slipping through the cracks, and leadership can step back from the day-to-day because you've got it. You won't have done it alone — no one here does — but everyone will feel the difference.
If you read this and recognized yourself — the person who's always been the one quietly keeping it all together — we'd love to hear from you. Tell us about one thing you took from chaos to running smoothly, and how you did it. We'll take it from there.
