Overview
Asmbly seeks to hire a part-time Facilities Coordinator (FC) who will help us ensure:
- facilities and tools are properly maintained,
- member needs are satisfied and exceeded,
- operations are sustainable long term, and
- organization’s mission is achieved.
This role is about being a force multiplier and focuses on maintaining physical operations efficiently through effective delegation. While the FC should be capable of performing the tasks outlined, they should prioritize ensuring tasks are completed, not necessarily by doing them personally each time. In essence, the FC is responsible for overseeing and maintaining the physical space, ensuring that all necessary tasks are accomplished.
This is a paid part-time position, requiring 20-26 hours per week, with the flexibility to work up to 4 hours remotely.
