Responsibilities

Office & Administrative Operations (20%)

Financial Administration (40%)

• Coordinate accounts payable and receivable in partnership with GON's contracted accountant

• Maintain accurate financial records and support the accountant and ED in audit preparation
• Flag financial discrepancies or concerns to the Executive Director promptly

Development Stewardship (40%)

• Manage and maintain GON's donor database — ensuring records are current, clean, and properly segmented
• Liaison with the Board, communicating key initiatives, scheduling meetings and compiling accompanying documents
• Process all incoming gifts promptly and generate timely, accurate acknowledgment letters
• Support the 25th Anniversary giving campaign — managing logistics, tracking progress toward fundraising goal, and coordinating mailings and outreach
• Maintain a grant and development calendar tracking deadlines, reporting requirements, and renewal timelines
• Assist with donor communications, event invitations, sponsor acknowledgments, and stewardship correspondence
• Support the planning and logistics of GON's fall anniversary celebration event
• Pull reports from the donor database to support the ED and board in prospect identification and campaign tracking

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable moving between administrative, financial, and donor-facing work — someone who takes ownership, builds systems where none currently exist, and communicates proactively as part of a small, mission-driven team.

Essential Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in office administration, operations, or nonprofit coordination
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail 
• Comfort with financial processes: invoices, reconciliations, expense tracking, basic reporting
• Experience with or ability to quickly learn donor database or CRM platforms
• Excellent written communication skills — you can write a professional email and a donor thank-you letter with equal care
• Discretion and judgment in handling sensitive organizational and donor information
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and Google Workspace
• Eligible candidates must have reliable transportation for local travel to activities, meetings, and events as well as the ability to provide proof of insurance, if applicable. (Mileage reimbursed at the federal rate).
• Eligible candidates must have a current driver’s license and the ability to clear a background check.
• Ability to work weekends and occasional evenings with advance notice.
• Ability to meet routine physical requirements of the position (sitting, standing, walking, lifting, and carrying up to 35lbs).
• Comfort in working for extended periods in outdoor settings.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and ask for help when needed

Preferred Skills and Abilities

• Experience in a nonprofit setting, particularly with grant-funded organizations
• Familiarity with donor management software (e.g., Bloomerang, Salesforce Nonprofit, DonorPerfect)
• Experience supporting fundraising campaigns, events, or development functions
• Knowledge of Southern Nevada's nonprofit, outdoor, or conservation community
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) — a plus given our community outreach work

Working Conditions & Expectations

• Full-time, in-person position based at our Las Vegas office (5075 Cameron Street, Suite H)
• Standard office hours with occasional evening or weekend availability for events
• Some outdoor work and volunteer events may be part of the role — we are an outdoor organization
• GON is a small team; flexibility, humor, and a collaborative spirit go a long way
• Benefits include health insurance, 401k match, paid time off, and holidays
