About You
While we do not expect any one candidate to possess all of these qualifications, the ideal candidate will possess many of the following professional and personal skills and qualities. 

You love working in a collaborative team, but are self-driven and able to take ownership and leadership over your projects to make them your own. Your strong organizational skills help you manage competing priorities. Helping the public and staff with a positive attitude is just as important to you as completing tasks efficiently. 

You’re comfortable troubleshooting relatively straightforward maintenance issues and following through to resolution. You have experience working with databases and understand the value of consistent data entry processes. Maintaining the confidentiality of donor information is important to you. You deliver high-quality work and apply careful thought beyond basic directions. General accounting tasks are a welcome part of your day, and you take initiative while maintaining accuracy in this work. 

You are experienced working on Macs and with standard office technology. You are comfortable learning new systems and working within Google Workspace’s collaborative environment to share and manage documents and files. You can create and maintain spreadsheets with strong attention to detail.

You enjoy routine work with seasonal ebbs and flows. You have a good sense of humor, work well with others, and value completing work thoroughly and on time. You are willing to pitch in where needed, can manage multiple projects at once, and know when to ask for support.  

You have a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record.

You are committed to the mission of the Wyoming Outdoor Council and will support and contribute to our equity and belonging work.
