 Key Things to Note:

• This individual will be the office go-to for all administrative and executive support matters. We seek a candidate who enjoys being the “hub.”

• Company is open to full-time or part-time hours (30/week) with flexible start/end times.

 Selected duties include:

• Proactively oversee general office operations and respond to queries on office management issues.

• Arrange travel processes, including flight and hotel booking, and car rentals.
• Work with the finance to support key processing including accounts payable.
• Plans in-house and offsite activities of the organization with the Social Committee.
• Oversee guest experience, sort mail, and answer direct phone calls.

Targeted candidate will offer 5+ years of administrative experience, with 1+ years supporting executives ideally in an emerging/start-up corporate setting. BA/BS and life science experience are preferred. 

 Other priorities include:

·         Excellent organization skills

·         Keen attention to detail

·         MS Office proficiency including Word, Excel and PowerPoint

·         Polished communication (both written and verbal)

Finally, we seek a team player who enjoys a point-person role; someone who can anticipate needs, find solutions to unexpected occurrences and helps where the help is needed. We seek a congenial and energetic team player who is ready and eager to contribute.
