This is a long-term, high-trust partnership for someone who wants to grow with Rally and keep our leaders, team, and office running at their best.

• Handle sensitive organizational, personnel, donor, and Board information with complete discretion.

Organizational Coordination

• Serve as the central connector between development, events, marketing, and other departments.
• Turn leadership priorities into clear next steps, owners, and timelines, and follow up to keep work on track.
• Coordinate leadership and staff meetings, including agendas, materials, notes, and action items.
• Manage review workflows in Monday.com and other project management tools.
• Review marketing, fundraising, and organizational communications for accuracy and brand consistency.
• Assist with management of the Founder & CEO’s LinkedIn presence.
• Identify bottlenecks and recommend improvements to systems and processes.

Office Operations

• Maintain office supplies, equipment, mail, and packages.
• Host visitors, donors, and partners, and coordinate hospitality for on‑site meetings.
• Administer office systems, records, and data integrity across platforms.
• Oversee PTO and vacation tracking.
• Coordinate employee recognition, celebrations, and engagement activities that strengthen Rally’s culture.
