About the Opportunity

Creshendo is an early-stage, global nonprofit powered by volunteers across countries and teams. As we have grown, our systems have developed at different speeds. We now need greater consistency in how teams plan, document, track, and coordinate their work.

We have already started building this infrastructure. We have support around strategic planning and organizational dashboards, monitoring and evaluation, HR, and AI. What we are missing is a hands-on operations leader who can connect these pieces and implement practical systems across the organization.

We are looking for someone with experience building or scaling operations in a startup, nonprofit, social enterprise, or similarly evolving organization. We need an implementer who can work directly with our Executive Director, leadership, Team Leads, and existing advisors to turn good ideas into systems people actually use.

Our goal is simplicity over bureaucracy. We want enough structure to create clarity and accountability while preserving the flexibility and human culture of a global volunteer organization.

Over approximately 6 to 8 weeks, the pro bono consultant will help implement a core set of priority operating systems across Creshendo.

Specific deliverables may include:

* Implementing and documenting priority SOPs and workflows
* Standardizing how teams track priorities, decisions, risks, and follow-ups
* Clarifying ownership, accountability, and cross-team handoffs
* Creating shared templates and operating practices that teams can use immediately
* Integrating our organizational dashboard into regular planning and progress tracking
* Streamlining overlapping or inconsistent processes
* Connecting systems across operations, HR, monitoring and evaluation, strategic planning, and other functions where appropriate
* Orienting relevant Team Leads to the new processes and incorporating feedback
* Documenting final systems for continued use after the project

Success means the priority systems are live and being used, not simply recommended. Team Leads should understand how they work, leadership should have greater visibility across teams, and Creshendo should leave the engagement with a simpler, more consistent operational foundation that we can maintain as we grow.
