• Manage day-to-day technology and office operations — hardware, software, subscriptions, telecom, and supplies — and maintain a multi-year replacement and capital plan.

Organizational & Administrative Support

• Support the Executive Director with board meeting logistics, including preparing financial materials, maintaining board records, and scheduling.
