Description

CNE is looking for a full-time Administrative Manager (AM) to join an eight-person team in our Charlottesville office.

This is a newly-created position that we envision growing in scope and responsibility over time.

The AM provides leadership for all CNE administrative functions and core support for bookkeeping, board management, special event, and philanthropic activities.  They are a public-facing professional who is invested in the nonprofit community, who has strong communication skills, work ethic, and a can-do attitude.  The AM is excited to be stretched with new tasks and challenges, while maintaining a philosophy that all tasks are important to be done well, no matter how seemingly small.

The AM supports all staff at CNE and will report to the Deputy Director of Operations & Advancement (DDOA).  Tasks and responsibilities will vary greatly throughout the year as organizational need and activities evolve.

Please submit a cover letter AND resume.  All submissions received by EOB on February 14th will be guaranteed consideration.
