Administrative Assistant/Receptionist
In the world of corporate Edmonton, you are a rising star! You are organized and can manage schedules and competing priorities with ease. You have a keen eye for detail, thrive on a deadline, love to laugh, and have the “let’s figure out how to solve this” attitude. You believe in the power of a spreadsheet, have killer time-management skills, and love “to-do” lists, but more importantly, get a great deal of satisfaction finishing off the “to-do” lists.
What Moves You
· Your interpersonal skills are great! What can you say? You’re a people person!
· You’re a stickler for detail and documentation. Sweating the details is what you do best.
· You don’t need someone to light a fire under you, you’re a human sparkplug, taking the initiative and enthusiastically managing multiple projects with limited supervision.
· You manage your time as expertly as you manage your projects – prioritizing, planning, and organizing are part of your DNA.
· You’re a Swiss vault when it comes to confidentiality.
· You’re not only comfortable with urgent concerns, you embrace them, deal with them, and then get back to your regularly scheduled program.
· You’re just as comfortable working with senior executives as you are with staff on the frontlines.
What You’ll Do
· Provide administrative and office management support to our small team – you will be the heart of our group!
· Provide reception service (you are the face and voice of our little company too!)
· Ensure team members’ preparedness for meetings and other obligations by reviewing all invitations and agendas, then prepare briefing notes.
· Organize documentation and technology, as needed, for meetings and obligations.
· Manage the President’s calendar, including triaging incoming requests and competing priorities.
· Manage the team’s filing and document retention.
· Make recommendations for process improvement.
· Coordinate logistics of team meetings, seminars, workshops and special events.
· Review executive correspondence and documents to ensure there are no typos, errors or content issues, making edits as necessary.
· Draft reports and research for potential projects or current projects.
· Troubleshoot and/or escalate office administration issues as they arise.
· Prepare correspondence for the team.
· Create tracking sheets for action items identified at meetings, then follow up on outstanding items.
· Manage and prepare agendas, presentations, and projects for team as needed.
· Maintain and order office supplies.
· Manage expenses, monthly invoicing prepared to clients, and do budget tracking.
· Provide project management support to our active projects. This can include invoice support, marketing support, builder liaison, and many other exciting opportunities to grow your skill set!
· Present a positive and profession image.
Roles and responsibilities may not be limited to these duties. We’re a team of eight so we grow together and all step in where we must!
What You Bring
As the Office Manager, you possess the following:
· A positive, self-starter attitude, with a passion to learn more about the land development industry and improve on processes already in place.
· A thorough understanding of office procedures and practices. You could probably show us a few tips and tricks to make things more efficient.
· The desire to be proactive on a daily basis and always anticipating the next requirement.
· A surgeon’s eye for detail – you probably checked this ad for grammar and spelling!
· A willingness to learn from your mistakes but a desire for perfection in all you do.
· Extensive computer skills in using MS Office, general PC use, Adobe products, and other internet-based programs. Knowledge of any accounting software or process is an asset!
· Exemplary customer service with a desire to ensure a positive experience every time.
· Excellent communication in English via email, telephone, and in person. Second language skills would be an asset.
· Ability to multi-task with various high priority projects while maintaining quality of workmanship through efficient time management.
· A resourcefulness that can outmatch MacGyver and Googling combined!
What’s Important to Us
· A post-secondary diploma in Business Administration or a related industry field. Education is important to us!
· Five to ten years of experience in an administrative role; you’re no newbie.
· Knowledge of land development, legal documents, and/or real estate regulations an asset.
· Must be able and willing to work Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm required in office.
