Project Coordinator

We're Hiring

Position Description

All-Options is hiring a new Project Coordinator for a grant-funded collaborative research project with Ibis Reproductive Health. The Project Coordinator (PC) will be primarily responsible for coordinating activities related to: 1) research on the impact of remote non-medical abortion support on the experiences and attitudes of people seeking abortion care, including callers to our national Talkline, and 2) collaborations that allow for the expansion of safe, effective, remotely-provided abortion support that is responsive to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Note: We are defining non-medical abortion support here as abortion doulas, handholders, and hotline/talkline staffers, who offer emotional, informational, logistical, physical, and/or spiritual support to clients before, during, and/or after an abortion.

All-Options is a nationally distributed organization with employees in California, Texas, and Indiana. The PC will report to our National Programs Manager (NPM), who is based in Indiana; the PC is a fully remote position and applicants can be based anywhere so long as they are located within approximately one hour of a major airport.

The PC is a non-exempt full-time position (35-40 hours/week), with a wage of $22/hour. Work schedule is generally Monday-Friday with some flexibility in hours and regarding time zones. Benefits include generous paid time off, a simple IRA retirement fund with employer match up to 3% of annual salary, and an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Account of up to $437.50/month for medical, dental, vision, and other health premiums and expenses. As a remote position, the PC will be provided with a computer (including a monitor, keyboard, etc) and eligible for monthly telephone and internet stipends. Note: This position is grant-funded for 18 months; continuation in a similar role may be possible if funding allows.
