– preferably a minimum of two years of experience with data and/or accounting

About Coyote:
Coyote sparks creativity in young people, putting tools in their hands to build skills and forge their futures. Over 1,500 young people ages 10 to 16 come to Coyote year-round for 20-hour hands-on workshops with professional artists, chefs, furniture makers, fashion designers, metal artists, animators, dancers, filmmakers, and all manner of creative people. Our primary campus is in the heart of the Central District, but last year we opened a new site in Lake City so that more kids from different races, economic backgrounds, and cultures can come together for pay-what-works-for-you explorations of creativity during their out-of-school time.

To Apply:
Please email your resume and your answers to the following questions/prompts to Operations Manager, Jen Smoose, at finance@coyotecentral.org with the subject line “Temporary Finance and Data Specialist.”

Questions:
– Why are you interested in this job?
– How do you stay organized when you have to juggle multiple tasks or projects?
