We’re seeking a talented, collaborative and can-do person to join the Bush Foundation as Program Operations Associate.
The right person for this new position is process and people oriented with great technical, project management and administrative skills — someone who gets excited when they discover a better or simpler way to do something and relishes sharing that discovery. Experience with Salesforce or another Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is a must so we can optimize the use of the technology in our program operations. Our organization has a strong commitment to both equity and learning and we look for people who share this commitment and are energized by both.
