Now Hiring: Part-Time Operations Coordinator

By sarabluhm | August 17, 2026

The Sussex County Land Trust is growing, and we’re looking for a new team member to grow with us!

SCLT is seeking a part-time Operations Coordinator to help keep the day-to-day business of the Land Trust running smoothly. This is a great opportunity for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, comfortable with technology, and enjoys being the person who keeps all the pieces moving behind the scenes.

The Operations Coordinator will work closely with the Executive Director and support several key areas of the organization, including:

  • QuickBooks and day-to-day financial administration

  • Payroll and vendor payments

  • Bloomerang donor and constituent database management

  • Board and committee meeting support, including preparation of meeting packets and minutes

  • General office and administrative operations

  • Use of AI, automation, and other technology to help improve organizational efficiency

This is a 20–25 hour-per-week position with a flexible hybrid schedule, combining in-office and remote work.

A Role with Room to Grow

We’re looking for more than someone to simply check tasks off a list. SCLT continues to expand its conservation work, public spaces, partnerships, fundraising, and community presence throughout Sussex County, and we want this position to have the opportunity to grow alongside the organization.

For the right person, the role could expand in both hours and responsibilities over time, particularly in areas such as fundraising and development, donor stewardship, grants, sponsorships, and events—with the potential to eventually become a full-time position.

Who We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate is dependable, organized, comfortable working independently, and confident managing details and deadlines. Experience with QuickBooks, payroll administration, CRM/database systems, nonprofit operations, or Board support is especially valuable.

We’re also looking for someone who is comfortable using artificial intelligence and automation tools to work smarter and improve administrative processes. Experience with platforms such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Read.AI, or similar tools is a plus.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of a small, collaborative team doing meaningful work for Sussex County.
