Operations Manager (Part time, contract)

Action for Women’s Empowerment (AWE) Global is a Canadian charity working internationally to advance women’s economic empowerment. We are looking for a sharp, organized Operations Manager to take increasing responsibility for the day-to-day running of the organization — freeing up our Executive Director to focus more on strategy, partnerships and external leadership.

This is a flexible role with meaningful responsibility, autonomy and room to grow.

Areas of Responsibility

The Operations Manager will help keep AWE’s core operational areas running smoothly.

• • Volunteers & interns: Recruiting and overseeing people who can take responsibility for and/or support appropriate work across the operational areas below.
  • Programs: Supporting the planning, coordination and follow-up needed to keep AWE’s programs running smoothly, including timelines, logistics, partner communication and related documentation.
  • Fundraising/donor relations: Assuring that fundraising targets are met through effective donor engagement, campaigns and other fundraising activities.
  • Communications: Keeping newsletters, social media, donor updates and other recurring communications moving.
  • Bookkeeping, budgets & administration: Overseeing bookkeeping, budgeting, and routine administration, filings, etc, on track.

A key part of the role is using AWE’s volunteer capacity strategically — identifying work that can be delegated and providing enough structure and follow-up to ensure it gets done.

An early priority will be to organize and document AWE’s recurring operational processes so that responsibilities, timelines and key information are easy to follow and maintain.

English proficient; French will be considered an asset; native language of target beneficiaries may also be considered an advantage.
