Organization Description: The National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA), established in 1965, represents manufacturers of precast concrete products and suppliers to the industry. As a 501(c)6 trade association, NPCA is dedicated to expanding the use of high-quality precast concrete and equipping its members with the learning, programs, certifications, and resources necessary to operate successful plants.
The Essentials and Leadership: At NPCA, we are committed to challenging the status quo and embracing bold ideas to drive the precast concrete industry forward. How we work is anchored in our philosophy to… Have Fun | Get Stuff Done | Be Kind
Job Summary: We're a membership organization, which means people matter — our members, our staff, and our partners. We need a sharp, organized go-getter to help run the day-to-day programs that support the future of the precast concrete industry — think scholarships, workforce development initiatives, and student engagement. This role supports the Foundation's Executive Director and works across a range of programs and operational tasks. If you're the kind of person who keeps five plates spinning without dropping any, thrives on a good checklist, and genuinely enjoys making things run smoothly — this one's for you.
Responsibilities:
- Keeping Foundation programs on track — managing timelines, communications, and deliverables across scholarships, grants, and new initiatives
- Providing logistical and administrative support for board and committee meetings — prep, follow-up, and documentation
- Supporting fundraising campaigns and donor communications, including keeping CRM records current
- Helping develop newsletters, social posts, and other outreach content
- Pitching in on events and student engagement activities
- Representing the Foundation professionally at industry events
- Tracking program metrics and helping prepare reports for Foundation leadership
- Additional duties as assigned
What You Bring to the Table:
- A "figure it out" attitude — you thrive on keeping things moving and don't need to be reminded twice
- Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail
- Tech-savviness — comfortable working across multiple platforms in a paperless environment
- A people-first approach — friendly, approachable, and professional in all interactions
- Strong written communication — you can draft a professional email and a social caption in the same afternoon
- Positive energy & optimism — you keep things fun and roll with the punches
- A good sense of humor — because some days, all you can do is laugh
Outcomes/Measures of Success: To be successful in this role, one must be an organized, reliable, and proactive team player who keeps Foundation programs running on time, supports leadership effectively, and represents the Foundation well to students, donors, and industry partners.
Travel: Occasional attendance at industry and student engagement events a couple times a year.
Key Qualifications and Experience:
- 1–3 years of relevant experience in program coordination, nonprofit work, association management, or similar
- Highly organized and reliable — details don't slip through the cracks
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable juggling multiple priorities without losing focus
- CRM experience or a background in education/workforce development a plus
- A sense of humor
