Volunteer Executive Assistant to Founder

About Salix Compass

At Salix Compass, we believe that administrative red tape should never stand between a patient and life-saving medication. We are a newly launched nonprofit initiative dedicated to helping patients and clinics navigate the complex administrative barriers that delay access to critical healthcare.

As a nimble, growing organization, we are moving fast to make a tangible impact. We are looking for a passionate, organized partner to help our Founder streamline operations and clear the runway so we can scale our mission.

The Role: Your Mission

Are you a hyper-organized "air traffic controller" who loves keeping chaos at bay? Do you thrive on setting up systems, managing calendars, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks?

We are seeking a Volunteer Executive Assistant to work directly with our Founder/Executive Director. This is an entry-level volunteer position, but it is a critical foundational role. Our goal is to transition this into a permanent, paid position as Salix Compass secures further funding and grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Calendar & Email Management: Take the reins of the Founder's inbox and schedule. Protect their time and ensure they know exactly where they need to be and when.
• Digital Organization: Tame our Google Drive and file systems so info is easy to find.
• Document Formatting: Help draft, proofread, and format documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
• Light Marketing & Design: Use Canva to create clean, visually appealing materials or social graphics to help share our mission.
• Special Projects: Assist with basic research, meeting minutes, and other administrative tasks as they arise.

What We Are Looking For

• The Organizer: You are naturally detail-oriented, proactive, and love structure. You aren't afraid to manage "up" and keep the Founder on track.
• Tech Savvy: Proficient in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive), Microsoft Office, and Canva.
• The Communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will represent Salix Compass in email correspondence.
• The Heart: A genuine passion for healthcare access, patient advocacy, and the nonprofit sector.
• Availability: 5–10 hours per week. Must be willing to hop on Zoom or Google Meet calls for initial training, orientation, and regular check-ins.

What’s In It For You?

While this is currently an unpaid volunteer role, we deeply value your time and expertise. We want this to be mutually beneficial. We offer:

• Ground-Floor Experience: Learn the ins and outs of launching and scaling a nonprofit from a Founder's perspective.
• Career Growth: This role is positioned to become a permanent paid opportunity as our funding grows.
• Professional Support: The Founder is highly invested in your success and is eager to provide glowing letters of recommendation, LinkedIn endorsements, and mentorship.
• Flexibility: Work from anywhere on a schedule that fits your life.
