Quad Bikes is Hiring a New Manager!

Founded in 2003, Quad Bikes has provided repairs and quality refurbished and new bicycles to the Harvard University community ever since. We are presently looking for an operations manager to handle the administrative side of the shop.

Enthusiasm for cycling is a must, but experience repairing bicycles is an asset, not a necessity. Training in bicycle repair will be available. Candidates will benefit from past work in a non-profit environment and being organized, efficient and reliable. Familiarity with Quickbooks and non-profit incorporation and law will also be major assets. The job will entail considerable interaction with customers so a friendly and approachable attitude is a must.

The position will entail meeting with a number of on-campus offices on a regular basis, such as Commuter Choice, Harvard Recycling and the Harvard Police. Quad Bikes is responsible for the tagging and removal of abandoned bikes left on campus. The job will entail organizing this program with The Harvard administration. Quad Bikes refurbishes many of these bikes to be sold.

The position provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience running a non-profit bike shop, while working with a group of young people passionate about biking. We are looking for an individual with a strong sense of customer service, good organizational skills and supervisory experience to manage everything from day-to-day operations to long-term planning. Specific areas of responsibility will be: managing a small team of young people, maintaining the shop website and mailing list, ordering parts and supplies, paying taxes and bills, and maintaining payroll and finances.

We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible.
