[Hiring] Administrator @The Moran Company

Role Description

The Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation seeks an organized, personable Administrator with strong communication skills to provide the day-to-day administrative, financial, and logistical support that allows this volunteer-led family foundation to operate smoothly. This is a half-time salaried position and the Foundation's only employee.

Reporting to the President and working closely with the Directors, committees, and Members, the Administrator serves as the Foundation's central point of coordination. Responsibilities include:

• Maintaining records and financial documentation
• Supporting the grantmaking process
• Organizing the Foundation's twice-yearly meetings
• Communicating regularly with members who represent a wide range of ages, locations, and backgrounds

This is a hands-on administrative role rather than an executive leadership position. The role calls for someone who can work independently and proactively, exercise sound judgment and discretion with sensitive information, and bring steadiness and good humor. The workload follows a seasonal rhythm, with concentrated activity around the two annual meetings (April and October) and the December member-match and year-end period, and with a lighter pace in between.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent combination of education and demonstrated professional experience
• Minimum of 5 years of progressively responsible administrative, nonprofit, or financial/operations experience, ideally including work with a foundation, family philanthropy, or membership organization
• Working knowledge of basic accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll processing, with experience in budget tracking and the accurate processing of grants, payments, and expense documentation
• Ability to read tax returns and audited financial statements for both the Foundation and its 501(c)(3) grantees, with familiarity with investment reporting and the language of asset management
• Familiarity with the regulatory environment for private foundations, or the demonstrated capacity to come up to speed quickly with the support of professional advisors
• Strong proficiency with technology, including databases, spreadsheets, document-management systems, standard office software, and website support or coordination
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Requirements

• Self-directed and organized, with the ability to manage concurrent priorities and meet deadlines without close supervision
• Calm, discreet, and resilient under pressure
• An excellent communicator, able to bring an appropriate sense of humor to the work
• Willing to listen and learn, with respect for the Foundation's history and the perspectives of its members
• Willing to travel twice annually and be available evenings/weekends during the two peak annual cycles

Benefits

• Annual salary of $50,000 to $55,000 for this half-time position, commensurate with experience and qualifications
• Remote work with travel required for the Foundation's two annual meetings
• Reimbursement for travel expenses and ordinary business costs, including office supplies, software, and continuing education
