Portfolio Aide

Edge Collaborative is seeking a highly organized, systems-oriented candidate who is excited to step into a dynamic organization and support our portfolio team as they work with partners to help advance their projects. Our portfolio team is organized to support projects across our pillar areas of workforce, climate and community wealth. The nature of this role, and of this work, is highly dynamic and iterative - as we aspire to serve the needs of the community and be responsive to funders. As a result, high standards for creativity, patience and communication will be required to balance the needs of both sets of stakeholders - and navigate corresponding shifts to work plans.

Position Overview

As an independent contractor, the Portfolio Aide at Edge Collaborative will focus on the monitoring and execution of Edge’s partner-led project portfolio. This 14-month role will work closely with a small, local team -- with regular input from the Director of Economic Innovation, 1-3 technical assistance providers, and Edge’s internal operations team. The Portfolio Aide will serve as the operational backbone of the portfolio: building systems to track progress, keeping the team accountable to commitments, and ensuring that our tools and processes support effective collaboration and communication. The ideal candidate should combine a deep desire to serve the community and an exceptional attention to detail and follow-up.

This is a hybrid role, with an expectation to be in the office at least 3x a week. While regional candidates are welcome to apply, priority will be given to qualified applicants living in Stockton.
