Administrative Assistant Job Announcement

Field Projects international (FPI) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization based in California that facilitates conservation and wildlife research and provides educational opportunities at international locations. FPI currently seeks to fill a part-time Administrative Assistant position (15 – 30 hrs per week). The ideal candidate for this position will have several years experience, or equivalent training, in administrative work. A background in the fields of biology, education, research, or conservation is a plus.

Job functions will include, but are not limited to:

• Email correspondence

• Organizing meetings

• Travel coordination

• Workshop coordination

• Scheduling

• Purchase and order tracking
• Summarizing information and generating written content

Working hours will be flexible, but must generally adhere to US Pacific Standard Time.

How do we get international communities to notice and care about habitat loss that is a world away? The person who joins our team will gain a great deal of experience on these topics, while also providing vital support to the organization.
