Employer: Nonprofit Megaphone
Full Job Description
Nonprofit Megaphone is a remote, home-based company dedicated to helping nonprofits thrive. We help organizations acquire and manage the Google Ad Grant to help nonprofits tell their stories to a global audience. We’re looking for someone incredibly detail-oriented, reliable and efficient to work with our team as an Administrative Assistant.
Our team is 100% remote, so we are one of the few companies where working from home is the rule, not the exception. Because we are remote, we take team culture very seriously. We love chatting with each other over Slack, our internal instant messaging system, and we get together for an (optional) in-person retreat once a year. Our team was recently recognized by Inc. Magazine on the Inc. 500 List as one of the fastest-growing companies in America. Nonprofit Megaphone also understands the need for portable and flexible careers and proudly supports military spouse employment through the Hiring Our Heroes #DiscoverTheTalent initiative.
