Resource and Restoration Chair

Powered By Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rooted in grassroots action. Our mission is to translate "Love in Action" into systemic stability by delivering essential resources at scale to economically vulnerable and unhoused communities, recognizing and supporting their inherent humanity.

The Opportunity: The 831 Experience

Note: Must be local to Arizona

We are offering an intensive, career-accelerating Student Leadership Residency for an organized and process-driven operations strategist to serve as the Resource & Restoration Chair for our flagship event, The 831 Experience, taking place on October 16th–17th, 2026, in Phoenix, AZ. This high-impact, scaled community restoration event is strategically designed to serve exactly 75 unhoused guests alongside 75 volunteer navigators.

Role Purpose

As the operations powerhouse of this project, you will take absolute ownership of incoming inventory management and customized data fulfillment. You will oversee the donation collections lifecycle, organize assembly lines, and coordinate the flawless digital logging and physical deployment of highly customized resource kits. This is a local role: while strategy maps can be built online, you must have a local presence in Phoenix to manage the physical storage, run inventory sorting events, and oversee distribution on-site. 

Core Responsibilities

• Inventory Control Systems: Design and manage the donation drive mechanics for clothing, shoes, and hygiene items, establishing a strict warehouse sort protocol based on sizing. 
• Kit Customization & Assembly: Orchestrate and manage team "Sorting Parties" to build and customize 75 Premium Backpacks tailored precisely to our unhoused guests' specific sizing data profiles. 
• High-Value Asset Resale: Coordinate the logging, preparation, and resale of high-value inventory items to maximize alternative revenue lines for the project. 
• On-Site Secure Distribution: Supervise the physical storage security and manage the final logistical rollout of all restorative items to guests during the event's closing "Grand Sending" ceremony. 
• Real-Time Data Scanning: Enforce on-site technical workflows using the Orca Scan mobile application to scan guest QR wristbands, automatically logging exact service and size distribution data. 
• Team Mobilization: Recruit, train, and lead a dedicated sub-committee of 3–4 specialized volunteers to manage sorting pipelines and assembly milestones. 

Job Qualifications 

• Current undergraduate student, graduate student, or recent graduate majoring in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Retail Operations, Business Analytics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 1–2 years of experience managing physical inventory, leading donation drives, or managing fulfillment/retail environments (student club leadership, large-scale campus asset drives, or prior internships are highly acceptable).
• Exceptional organizational skills with a strong knack for creating order out of complex, unstructured batches of physical items. 
• Strong digital literacy, specifically comfortable utilizing database sheets and adapting to mobile inventory scanning software (such as Orca Scan). 
• Exceptional capability to build and inspire small teams to hit rigid production deadlines under tight time constraints.
