Include Better is hiring a part-time administrative assistant! We’ve also posted this to several cities’ Craigslist pages, but it occurred to me that I should also post to my blog about this momentous occasion and important opportunity. 🙂

Include Better seeks a part-time (approximately 5-10 hours a week) administrative assistant, primarily in support of the Executive Director. Remote work will be required, although some in-person collaboration is also expected, particularly if the admin lives in Boston, Chicago, Seattle, New Orleans, or San Francisco.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Corresponding with clients and vendors (primarily email).
• Invoicing and budgeting.
• Conference and workshop scheduling.
• Assistance with records keeping.
• Project management (currently using Asana).
• Internet research.
• Marketing.

Include Better is a small organization working to address systemic societal oppressions — sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other tools of the kyriarchy — within geek spaces. 

This position is a new role and will be the first paid employee of our organization. As such, there will be a high level of interaction with the founders, and the position will be shaped to a large extent by the person we hire. 

In a world that privileges white, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied, male voices, we prioritize a variety of perspectives in our organization. Please feel particularly encouraged to apply if you are a Person of Color, queer, transgender, ace, non-binary, Deaf, a woman, disabled, or any combination of the above. Working hours will be scheduled to accommodate the needs of the employee and the company; primary caregivers are also welcome.

We strongly believe that work-relevant experience comes from more than just educational institutions, and do not require that anyone have a degree or certification of any kind. Project management experience is welcome, including household/family management experience. Fluency in Spanish and Chinese languages are likewise desired but not required. A history of anti-oppression work will be beneficial in this role.

The pay rate for this position is $25/hour. This is a contract position; the employee will be responsible for managing their own tax payments. Include Better will file a 1099-MISC for this position.
