We’re looking for a long-term, part-time external contractor to serve as The Engine Room’s Operations Assistant. This person would help us ensure that the organization is functioning in a healthy way, we are complying with existing regulations, our administrative tasks are completed in a timely manner, and our financial record-keeping is efficient, accurate, well-organized and accessible.

About the role

The Engine Room does not have a physical office and our staff and contractors are distributed across 4 continents.  As a result, our operations, finance and logistics needs are rather unique! Our Operations Assistant will support our team in the areas of financial execution and record-keeping, grant management, compliance, operations, and team logistics. 

The role is for an independent contractor/consultant and is part-time, with the potential for increased hours in 2022.

We welcome applications from folks with diverse backgrounds. For this role, successful candidates are experienced operations and finance professionals based in the US. We’re looking for applicants who are empathetic, discreet and open to colleagues’ needs and concerns, while making sure that core processes and organizational obligations are fulfilled. We’re looking for someone who is responsive, adaptable, reliable and meticulous, and that you are patient but persistent. You organize your day and your time well, prioritizing effectively and balancing collaborative work with self-motivated, independent processes. Our organizational values resonate with you.
