About Bridges of Colorado
Established in 2018, Bridges of Colorado places Service Professionals across the state's 23 judicial districts to serve defendants with significant mental health needs. Recognized nationwide as a promising practice, Bridges focuses on the whole person to address disparities often experienced by this population in the criminal justice system. At its core, the organization is rooted in person-centered advocacy, solution-focused collaboration, and a deep commitment to the inherent worth and dignity of every participant.
About the Role
The Office Manager serves as the operational backbone of Bridges, exemplifying our values of being person-centered, solution-focused, and collaborative. This dynamic position ensures the office runs smoothly by delivering responsive customer service to employees regarding their operational needs. You will be the in-person contact for the Denver main office, managing everything from workspace creation and equipment requests to fleet and parking logistics.

We encourage you to discuss how your lived experience may be considered as a substitution for minimum qualifications.
