About the Role

At the USO, we’re more than a workplace—we’re a mission. As a Center Operations Specialist, you’ll be at the heart of creating a safe, welcoming, and uplifting environment for our service members and their families.

  • Support Programs & Events – Plan, deliver, and evaluate high-quality programs and activities that bring the USO mission to life—on base, in the community, and beyond.
  • Build Community Connections – Collaborate with military partners, local leaders, donors, and media to strengthen awareness and support for the USO.
  • Manage Resources – Track budgets, inventory, and donations with accuracy. Prepare reports and maintain standard operating procedures.
  • Support & Lead Volunteers – Recruit, train, and celebrate volunteers who power our mission. Communicate updates, schedule shifts, and help recognize achievements.
  • Drive Communications – Share stories, photos, and updates for social media and local outlets to showcase the impact of our work.
  • Be Flexible – Step in to support other team members and cover leadership roles when needed.

  • Strong multitasker—able to balance multiple priorities with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfort with volunteer management systems / social media platforms. (Experience with Digital Cheetah a plus.)
  • Financial awareness : ability to handle donations, reconcile budgets, and track operational data.
  • Adaptable, collaborative, and motivated by mission-driven work.
  • Other Requirements

  • Ability to work flexible, non-standard hours, including evenings and weekends.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%.
  • Must be able to obtain necessary credentials to access USO locations and facilities (including background check).
  • Valid U.S. passport and driver’s license required (foreign license may be required depending on location).
  • General knowledge of the military community strongly preferred.
  • Details
