Administrative Assistant

The California Bicycle Coalition is looking for an experienced administrative assistant to help our hard-working remotely-based team stay organized and efficient. CalBike advocates for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous communities where bicycling helps to enable all Californians to lead healthy and joyful lives. 

We work with state agencies to improve their practices and policies. We build political power from the grassroots to strengthen our collective voices. We are committed to equity, working best when we succeed at the intersection of bicycle advocacy and social justice. In 2021, we are winning subsidies to help people buy e-bikes, increase funding for safe bicycling infrastructure, and advancing equitable access to shared micromobility. 

We need a team member with great technical and interpersonal communication skills. We are a team of 6-7 people, mostly based in the Bay Area, but have staff and key consultants all over the state. We each work from home, with weekly meetings in person for the staff in Oakland, and monthly meetings for the statewide staff.
