National Council for Mental Wellbeing Membership & Business Operations Specialist

Positively Partners • Attleboro, MA

9h • $80,000 - $85,000 • Remote

About The Position

The role is a cross-functional individual contributor who serves as a connective layer across the Business & Strategy team at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. Reporting to the Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives & Proposal, this person keeps work moving across two key areas: proposal management and membership. They are organized, relationship-oriented, and experienced enough to operate with considerable independence in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift, including during high-activity proposal seasons. Success in this role requires resilience and a genuine team-player orientation. Proposal seasons can be intense, and this person will need the energy and flexibility to go all in when the work demands it. Across both proposal management and membership, this role involves communicating with and reporting to senior leadership; synthesizing activity, tracking numbers, and helping the team present its work clearly. The expectation is not deep analytics expertise, but a practiced comfort with data and a drive to surface what matters. This is a strong fit for an experienced professional, who brings a track record of juggling competing priorities across a cross-functional environment, communicating effectively with stakeholders at multiple levels, and following through without needing close direction. While this position can be done remotely from anywhere in the U.S., candidates must primarily accommodate Eastern business hours.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent experience and certification.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of professional experience in a nonprofit, health, or mission-driven organization.
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently, managing multiple concurrent priorities and deadlines with minimal direction in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; track record of preparing materials for and communicating directly with senior leaders and stakeholders.
• Sound judgment and problem-solving ability; able to analyze situations and determine an appropriate course of action without step-by-step guidance.
• High proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite — particularly Excel for tracking, reporting, and dashboard maintenance.
• Experience with CRM platforms or database systems (Microsoft Dynamics preferred).
• Collaborative team-player orientation with the resilience and flexibility to increase effort during high-demand proposal seasons.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail; results-oriented with a commitment to quality and follow-through.

• Experience in grants management, development coordination, or a comparable cross-functional project support role — with demonstrated ability to gather information across teams, meet submission deadlines, and manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.

• Background supporting membership programs, professional associations, or health systems.
• Experience working at or in close partnership with a national organization.
• Familiarity with the behavioral health sector or health policy landscape.
