Director of Operations

At Robyne's Nest, the work we do for young people is only as strong as the systems that support it.We walk alongside young people ages 14–24 facing housing instability and limited family support — helping them complete school and build toward independence.

You'll own our internal systems and make sure they actually work — for our team, our volunteers, our events, and the young people we serve.Systems & Processes — You'll build, document, and continuously improve the SOPs, workflows, and tools that keep us organized and accountable. If a process doesn't exist, you'll create it. If it isn't working, you'll fix it.Human Resources — From recruiting and onboarding to compliance and personnel practices, you'll make Robyne's Nest a place where good people want to stay and grow.Events & Logistics — You'll lead the operational side of everything we put on — fundraisers, community events, board meetings, and more — so our ED and program staff can show up fully present.Volunteers — You'll build the infrastructure for our volunteer program: roles, onboarding, scheduling, and recognition that helps volunteers do meaningful work and want to come back.Development Operations — You'll make sure gifts are processed accurately, donors are thanked promptly, records are clean, and grant deadlines never sneak up on us.Financial Administration — You'll work with our outside accounting team, track expenses against budget, and keep our board well-informed with clear, organized documentation.WHO YOU ARE
