About the Company

More Than Words is a social enterprise that employs and trains youth ages 16-24 who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless, or out of school, running bookstores and training programs in Boston.

‍

About the Role

A structured Monday-Friday, 9-5 operations and finance-administration seat on the grants team.

• Manage 8+ state and federal fee-for-service contracts: invoicing, youth enrollments, state database entries, and file audits (about 60%)
• Track grant deliverables and reports, reconcile Salesforce with QuickBooks, and update budgets (about 30%)
• Support the Director of Grants with events, meetings, and fundraising work (about 10%)

What They're Looking For

Strong organization, attention to detail, and deadline management. Prior nonprofit administrative work, experience with contracts or financial systems, or data analysis is a plus — there is no hard years-of-experience screen.

‍
