The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Community Excellence Foundation is hiring a Facilities Manager in Grand Rapids, MI.

• Role description

  A Facilities Manager at Community Excellence Foundation owns Problem Solving end to end, answers for it, and gets the credit too, all from Grand Rapids, MI. Read it as a $77,000 - $117,000 invitation to own general work in Grand Rapids, backed by a manager title and 7 years of trust.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Push back, respectfully, when a Presentation Skills shortcut will cost us later
  • Own assigned projects from kickoff through final delivery
  • Step in on additional duties that support the wider Community Excellence Foundation mission
  • Steer Community Excellence Foundation's Collaboration roadmap with both nerve and humility
  • Refuse to let Organization debt quietly accumulate on your watch
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch

  What You'll Bring

  • A Grand Rapids network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • 7+ years navigating the politics that general work attracts
  • A quick-to-ship bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • Design-led problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission

  Long before general was fashionable, Community Excellence Foundation was already solving it for businesses scattered across MI. We keep ego out of code review and let the Negotiation argument win on its merits.

  The package is honest: $77,000 - $117,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Grand Rapids, MI.

  We updated this posting recently and are still actively accepting candidates.

  We're looking for the person who reads general job posts and thinks I could fix that.
