Duties will include overseeing daily operations and annual budgets, management and effective application of consultants, and development and presentation of periodic reports as may be required by the Port of Los Angeles and/or other agencies.

Salary (ca. $85-110K) negotiable based on work and fundraising experience. A hybrid work schedule that includes at-home and at-office working hours in addition to paid vacation/sick time are attributes of the position.
