Summary
Title:Data & IT Associate

Description

Writopia Lab, a national creative writing nonprofit is looking for a Data & IT Associate to join our home office team on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

When we hire at Writopia Lab, we look for people who meet our requirements, feel passionate about our mission, and are great writers  — and yes, even our IT Associates are great writers.

We are looking for someone capable of quickly digesting new technologies. But we are also looking for someone with a specific set of skills and workplace experience. To land this position, you will need at least two years of experience managing IT projects in a medium to large business or nonprofit setting and you will need to demonstrate mastery of data manipulation in a spreadsheet environment -- initial interviews will include a skills test.

Written Communication

Most job listings mention this, but the stakes are a little higher here; because we are writing educators, written communication is a critical skill for all employees at Writopia Lab. Your writing will go to students, coworkers, parents, funders, board members, and others, so both your writing chops and your ability to vary your voice according to the situation are quite important to us.

Room to Grow

At Writopia Lab, we all wear many hats. Though your role will be more specialized than most, you will certainly be pulled into projects not related to technology, as well as many that are. In our immediate future we have a couple of tools-research projects to take on, as well as a couple of projects that are more focused on user engagement.

We are looking to fill this position with someone who will be part of the organization for years to come, and to grow this position into a management spot.

Responsibilities

Writopia Lab’s user base is 30 full-time employees using Windows laptops plus 100 part-time instructors and about 4,000 students using Chromebooks in 23 locations across six states and the District of Columbia. We are an intensely cloud-based organization with a strong focus on security. And we work hard to make things as easy for our users as possible.

You will work closely with the Chief Operations Officer to execute those projects as well as contributing to policy and managing day-to-day operations in the areas mentioned below. We will lean heavily on your experience and knowledge of the current state of relevant technologies.

    • Import/Export data across multiple formats and sources

The Job

This is a full-time overtime-exempt position in our New York City office. Though we are committed to making the vast majority of your weeks true 40-hour weeks, there will most definitely be weeks when you are required to put in extra hours to meet the organization’s goals.

Compensation

Salary for the appropriate candidate will be $50,000 to $60,000. Benefits include medical coverage (employees contribute 5% of premium); access to employee-funded 401k, dental coverage, vision coverage, and flexible spending accounts; creative writing workshops for your children; 10 days vacation; and 5 days sick time.
