• Manage the full life cycle of grants—from applications and reporting to compliance tracking and documentation.
• Support administration of subcontracts for collaborative, multi-partner grant projects.

Finance & Operations

• Co-lead budget development (annual operating budget ~$500,000), monitor financial performance, and oversee cash flow management.
• Partner with bookkeeping and accounting consultants to ensure accurate financial records and timely reporting.

HR & Personnel Management

• Help foster an inclusive and supportive workplace culture for PNPP’s small but growing team.

Board & Organizational Support

• Coordinate with the Board of Directors on governance, meeting preparation, and strategic planning processes.
• Support development of internal systems and policies that promote long-term organizational sustainability.

Desired Skills & Experience:

Minimum requirements:

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in nonprofit operations, development, and/or administration
• Strong organizational, financial, and project management skills and comfort navigating overlapping projects and deadlines
• Strong writing skills and experience with outward-facing organizational communications
• Experience using Google Workspace (including Google Docs and Google Sheets)
• Commitment to values of collaboration and shared ownership—and an interest in embedding those values at every level of organizational operations
• Sharp to “in-the-weeds” detail paired with creative & strategic “big-picture” thinking
• A commitment to PNPP’s mission and an interest in urban forestry & environmental justice

Our ideal candidate would also have:
