We are looking for a logistics manager:
-who is self-motivated (able to work without much supervision)
-who can juggle many priorities and keep track of what’s most important
-who enjoys logistics, and is fine with such tasks as:
--making checklists of which objects are needed;
--getting objects to and from places;
--researching possible workshop sites; thinking through what is needed, and what participants’ experiences will be;
--figuring out what we’re overlooking and how to fix it.
-who can handle large volumes of email correspondence in a timely way
-who can help coordinate and manage people when necessary (e.g., managing 6 temporary workers during workshops; and perhaps growing into other roles as our organization grows)
-who is pleasant, sociable, can work well with a variety of people, and can serve as good face for our organization.
This is a full-time, paid job. We are eager to have someone who can start ASAP.
