Full job description

Green Newton is seeking a detail-oriented, creative administrator to serve as our part-time Development and Outreach Coordinator. The Coordinator will support Green Newton’s mission by overseeing membership administration, social media and supporting marketing efforts. You are a great fit for this position if you like administrative challenges, are highly attentive to detail and have a creative spark for creating visual graphics. You like working with volunteers and know how to delegate. You are familiar with engaging the community through social media and understand marketing basics.

Because Green Newton does not have a central office, the Coordinator will work from home, with a weekly trip to the Newton Post Office and occasional in-person meetings and events in Newton. Evening Zoom meetings are required two or three times/month, and weekend work in Newton is required approximately four times/year. The Coordinator reports to the Executive Director.
