Responsibilities

- As the Project Manager, your role isn't just about ticking boxes and tracking progress-it's about creating an environment where every volunteer feels valued, heard, and motivated.
- Communication will be your strong suit. With regular check-ins, you'll ensure every team member is aligned with our goals, has clarity on their tasks, and feels part of our shared mission. You'll be there to celebrate the milestones, but also to navigate the challenges, ensuring that setbacks are turned into learning experiences.
- Making informed decisions under pressure will be key, ensuring the project stays on track from inception through completion. Yet, you'll always maintain a balance between adhering to the plan and being adaptive when needed. You'll identify risks, but more than that, you'll devise strategies to address issues in ways that respect and consider the diverse perspectives within our volunteer team.
- Your leadership will ensure the efficient use of our collective skills and resources, but, more importantly, you'll foster a culture where every individual feels a sense of belonging and purpose.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience: Proven track record managing software or CRM projects.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in project or program management within an IT/Engineering related organization
- Empathy & Interpersonal Skills: the ability to connect with team members and stakeholders, understanding their needs, challenges, and motivations.
- Proactive Communication: Exceptional communication skills that help in clarifying complexities, preventing misunderstandings, and fostering a culture of open dialogue.
- Decision-Making: Demonstrated aptitude for making well-informed, effective, and timely decisions, even in the face of challenges.
- Adaptability: Thrive in a dynamic environment, swiftly adjusting to changes and new information.
- Leadership: inspire, motivate, and guide a team towards achieving project objectives.

About Digital Aid Seattle

Location:

107 Spring St, Seattle, WA 98101, US

Mission Statement

Our vision is that society will one day equip altruistic organizations as well as we equip for-profit companies. Over the years, we’ve seen new technologies enable corporations to shape our culture, alter our ecosystem, and usher in new realities we never thought possible. Most non-profit organizations, on the other hand, are totally bereft of technical capability. While they focus on matters paramount to humanity-homelessness, civil rights, environmental sustainability, etc.-they are left to make change with few resources other than selfless dedication and sheer willpower. We will ensure mission-driven nonprofits receive the technical support they need to modernize. There already exists an army of folks working for positive change, we will give them the digital boost they need to exponentially increase their positive impact. We already have the heroes, Digital Aid Seattle is just giving them a tech super-power.

Description

We do the stuff in our Mission Statement.

  • We hold ourselves and each other to high standards
    • Everyone here commits to working at least 4h/week for at least 6 months.
    • We vet our volunteers--only hiring 10% of those who apply.
    • Volunteers need to be endogenously-driven and self-managed--taking ownership over the impact they create.
  • Being on our team is highly rewarding
    • We create tangible impact in the world, serving as a force-multiplier of the work noble non-profits are already doing. This impact is far beyond what any one of us could have by volunteering for those beneficiary non-profits directly.
    • We are the confluence of best practices gleaned from many of our full-time & prior employers (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.).
    • For those earlier in their career, working with DAS is an opportunity to create a portfolio showcasing competency and impact earned in the face of real-world constraints and compromises.
    • We collectively create a community not only defined by its camaraderie and kindness, but one where we push ourselves and each other to grow, learn, and deliver.
