COTS is looking for a dynamic Office Manager to support various administrative functions and general operations for our organization.  This role will be responsible for ensuring our office runs smoothly and efficiently.  The right candidate for this role will be able to adapt and flex quickly; ability to multitask is a must.  No day will look the same as the one before, but each day will bring an opportunity to provide critical support to our teams, including our direct service team members who are supporting the guests and clients we serve.

We are looking for an adaptable self-starter who can jump in and pivot tasks frequently. Organization and attention to detail are critical in this role.  The right candidate is passionate about our mission and the work that we do, and someone who is looking for a dynamic position in a nonprofit where you will help out with a little bit of everything.

A high school degree with some post-secondary coursework is required, Bachelor’s degree preferred. A minimum of two years of experience in office administration required, preferably in human services or a nonprofit environment. A combination of experience and coursework in lieu of either requirement will be considered.  Must have advanced computer skills and be able to use Microsoft Office applications.  Strong candidates will have experience with individuals experiencing homelessness and crisis intervention.
