Open Positions
​
Program Administrator (Full Time)
​
Bring your organizational skills, energy, and mastery of all things administrative and logistical to Tech Goes Home in Boston. Tech Goes Home (TGH), founded in 2000, is a national award-winning initiative empowering communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. TGH is focused on tackling entrenched barriers to technology adoption and Internet access in Boston and across the US.
Tech Goes Home is hiring a Program Administrator to join the Program Team and provide support for the 4,000+ participants in TGH’s courses and the hundreds of volunteer trainers who bring digital skills and technology to families currently without access to either for their work and family. This is a new position for a small but growing team of people who are committed to expanding and constantly improving the courses and opportunities that TGH provides to the thousands of Greater Boston residents who lack basic Internet skills and the devices that would allow them to communicate with their children’s teachers, find and apply for employment, or participate online as sometimes-isolated senior citizens.
The Program Administrator will be responsible for:
​
-
Responding to course trainers, organizing and providing materials, tracking course registrations and metrics, responding to phone calls, and maintaining strong record keeping and database systems.
-
Coordinating the multiple systems that supplement the TGH digital literacy courses such as Mango Languages ESL registration, Eventbrite postings and tracking, TGH’s website, logging data to Salesforce, and facilitating the launch of new courses.
-
Maintaining TGH’s high standards in on-boarding new partners, welcoming new trainers, and supporting trainers and students in navigating the steps in offering, taking, or completing a TGH course, including receiving a new digital device!
-
Representing TGH by posting to social media, drafting a newsletter for trainers, responding to general inquiries, and demonstrating cultural competence in communicating with people from every socio-economic class, different races and cultures, and varied experience with technology.
-
Embracing TGH’s terrific culture of getting stuff done, by enthusiastically helping with fundraising events, supporting the Co-Executive Directors, keeping the team on track, and whatever else might happen in a busy day or week.
Ideal candidates for the Program Administrator position will demonstrate the following experience and personal qualities:
-
Previous experience in maintaining systems, organizing materials, tracking and meeting deadlines, and demonstrating a positive attitude throughout.
-
Solid comfort in using Google Apps, Salesforce, and social media as well as quickly learning new technologies.
-
Excellent written and oral communication skills with a customer service orientation. Spanish language fluency preferred.
-
Attention to detail in tracking projects, communicating without typos, and ensuring even small items are not overlooked or rushed.
-
A roll up your sleeves attitude where all work is valued and all constituents are treated with patience and respect.
-
A robust sense of humor goes a long way!
Compensation and Benefits
