An established private family foundation is seeking an all-around athlete to partner closely with the Executive Director across a broad range of business responsibilities and serve as the operational hub for the team. The foundation has a long history of supporting civic life and democratic engagement among young people in the United States, pediatric health and caregiving science, and Jewish education and heritage in the U.S. and Israel.
This high-trust, hands-on role combines operational coordination, financial tracking and reporting, grant administration, and executive support, including calendar and logistics management. The Operations Associate must exercise sound judgment, act with a sense of urgency, be intellectually curious, anticipate needs, take initiative, follow through and deliver results. This is an opportunity for a self-starter who has a strong background in owning executive support functions, proactively solving unfamiliar problems before they arise, and collaborating closely with a diverse set of stakeholders.
In addition, the Associate will coordinate grant agreements, track commitments, maintain accurate documentation and records, and prepare financial reports. This role is ideal for someone who brings experience to the table yet still has a hunger for learning with a “no task is too small” mentality. As success is demonstrated, this role will expand to include broader responsibilities, such as continually improving the foundation's systems and processes. This person will work regularly with the foundation's principals, counsel, the family office, business leaders, and grantee organizations, requiring discretion, poise and professionalism at all times.
