About The Position

GSWO is seeking a Business Operations Specialist to join our newly created Business Operations team! This department combines our existing Customer Care, Retail and Business Support teams to strengthen cross-training, increase internal coverage and provide a seamless, exceptional experience for our members, volunteers, families and community. Business Operations Specialists are trained to support all three functions – whether it’s supporting operations at one of our Girl Scout centers, serving as first point of contact for a customer inquiry, selling branded merch in our boutique retail shops or helping bring our mission to life for our community through our brand center operations, this role is at the heart of it all. This is a customer-facing position that directly supports the mission and ensures every touchpoint with our council feels welcoming, helpful, connected and on brand. This is a great role for someone with call center, general office, customer service or retail experience and the ideal candidate will have prior experience in interacting with customers -both in-person and online or phone, be comfortable with heavy call volume (utilizing a headset) and being a first point of contact and first impression for the organization. This role requires a friendly and professional demeanor, strong ability to problem solve and handle multiple tasks at the same time and in an accurate and timely manner and serve as a collaborative team member and knowledge holder for all the happenings across council!
