Organization Overview: Heu Learning is a startup nonprofit organization building a network of in-person English instruction programs. 26.5 million US residents don’t speak English. It’s a massive obstacle to their well being, and a massive missed opportunity for the US.

In-person English instruction (ESL) is transformational for non-English-speakers, but there are no spots left. Fewer than 350k access in-person ESL, and waitlists are years-long across the country. If we develop more ESL programs, thousands are ready to take them. If they’re effective, they’ll change the lives of enrollees and the communities to which they belong.

Key Responsibilities:

• Maintain regular communication with the board and coordinate board meetings, including scheduling, agenda preparation, and documentation

• Oversee accounting, bookkeeping, payroll processes, and financial forecasting
• Develop and implement policies for fiscal and legal compliance, including regular audits and assessments
• Manage calendars and schedules for senior leadership team members, coordinating internal and external meetings, events, and travel arrangements
