FSF job opportunity: Operations assistant
Reporting to the executive director, this position works on the operations team to ensure all administrative, office, and retail functions of the FSF run smoothly and efficiently, preserving our 4-star Charity Navigator rating and boosting all areas of our work.
The operations assistant is responsible for handling phone calls, managing office operations, leading the GNU Press shop, and being a friendly face for visitors to our office at the center of Boston's Downtown Crossing. Examples of job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
This is a great opportunity for a team-oriented self-starter who thrives on multitasking, is calm under pressure, has an eye for detail, and wants to make a difference. The position must be worked from the Boston office, and the position must be able to lift small to medium-size packages (up to fifty pounds) on a regular basis. With our small staff of fourteen, each person makes a clear contribution. We work hard, but offer a humane and fun work environment.
Because our mission is worldwide, language skills and a demonstrated ability to interact with people across cultures and age groups will be highly valued. While the position does not require advanced computer skills, a willingness to learn and work with new software is a must. We use free software including CiviCRM, Plone, Emacs, and LibreOffice, all running on GNU/Linux.
