The Seattle Go Center is looking for a part time Operations Manager, who can work 50-75 hours per month.  Very sadly, our interim operations manager is unable to remain in the position.  This position includes paying bills, doing payroll, filling out tax forms (CPAs help), doing light maintenance, supervising maintenance contracts, meeting and coordinating with the Board, etc.  This role was previously for 50 hours per month, but we want to expand the role to include creating and planning programs and other management tasks; hence the work could optionally be up to 75 hours per month. The Operations Manager should be familiar with and passionate about the game of Go, but they do not have to be a strong player. 

If you are not interested, please consider friends or family who might have the right skill set and ability to not work a full-time job.  This is an important role for SGC.

If you are interested in the position, we will send you a full description of the role, pay, job requirements, and optional candidate attributes.  The Operations Manager will have use of a desk and computer in the Go Center office, and while some work can be done remotely, the Operations Manager is expected to be our "boots on the ground" onsite multiple days a week to check the property and take care of business.  The hours are pretty flexible.    

The role is going to shift quite a bit in 2023 and a couple of years later.  You will be key in working with the Building Development Committee to find a temporary location for SGC during construction of our new building, and you will organize the move, including storage for SGC assets that don't move.  You will own moving back into our new space at the current location when the new building is ready.  After we move to an interim property, there are many things you would no longer need to manage (full property security, building and tenant insurance, elevator inspections, property taxes, etc.). 

We will take applications at least until 16 SEP to give folks a chance to consider the role, and the personnel committee will begin interviewing as soon as we can schedule applicants on zoom (for convenience).  We hope to find a strong candidate before the end of SEP.   

There will be support and help as you ramp up in the new role, but we also look for a candidate that has a good sense of self-starting who can work with directors on learning because past operations mangers may not be available for training.  There will be specific help for some tasks such as annual reporting, non-profit tax paperwork, payroll, expense reporting, etc.  There also is an operations manual for overview and some detailed how-to documents. 

If you have any questions or want to discuss the role, please contact billchiles-gocenter@hotmail.com. 

Thanks, 

Bill
