GFA seeks a Program Operations Coordinator to run the day-to-day operations of a growing coastal resilience program spanning multiple state and federal grants, partners, and deliverables. Supervised by the Coastal Resilience Program Lead, this role is responsible for building and maintaining the structure that keeps projects on track and teams aligned.
We’re looking for someone who takes ownership, builds systems, and keeps work moving in a complex, fast-paced environment. The right candidate is organized, resourceful, and motivated by helping a team operate more effectively.
Beyond operations, the Coordinator will contribute from day one to drafting deliverables, synthesizing project information, and preparing management-facing communications, including progress reports, presentations, and summaries that translate technical work for agency partners and stakeholders. A background in coastal, environmental, or marine science is an asset: the ability to accurately distill scientific findings, ask questions of project scientists, and recognize what matters to resource managers will make this person effective quickly and central to how the program communicates its work.
Pay: $68,000-$73,000 annually + benefits
Location: San Francisco, CA (hybrid)
