Contribute to departmental and cross-departmental projects aimed at refining processes and improving accuracy and scalability of services.
May include specialized processing for hardship assistance and scholarship award grants, ensuring strict accordance with approved program guidelines and compliance with internal SLAs and external regulatory requirements through disciplined record-keeping and follow-through.

Additional Duties/Ad Hoc Projects (10%)

Provide general client operations support.
Take on additional project work requiring careful analysis or process refinement, as needed.

Requirements:

Desired Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

Clear, precise written and verbal communication, with strong discretion and respect for client confidentiality
Deep proficiency with MS Word, Excel, Outlook, Adobe Acrobat, and Salesforce, with an interest in mastering the technical detail of these tools
Comfortable working independently with sustained focus, as well as collaboratively within a team
A methodical, meticulous approach to work, with genuine satisfaction in getting the details exactly right
Strong organizational skills and an exacting commitment to accuracy, consistency, and thorough documentation
Sound analytical judgment — able to identify discrepancies or process gaps and recommend well-considered solutions
A self-starter who takes ownership of tasks, manages a high volume of detailed work reliably, and maintains composure under deadline pressure
A conscientious, quality-focused mindset, with pride taken in producing accurate, polished work product, and openness to feedback as part of continually refining one's craft
A professional, measured demeanor when corresponding with internal and external contacts
Bachelor's degree preferred; 1-2 years of experience in a professional office environment (compliance or detail-oriented work a plus), with general knowledge of private foundation administration a bonus
