Full-time position available for an Administrative Assistant to support our Director of College Counseling. You must be very comfortable with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Pages and Google docs because you will create and manage large databases, format word documents, create Google forms and interact with social media and web based platforms. The position is open to candidates who are detail oriented, impeccably organized, have a strong memory, and can demonstrate the ability to work quickly, accurately, and under pressure in a time-critical environment. Candidates who are familiar with competitive college application cycles, local high schools, courses, and extra-curriculars will be given preference.

This Job Is Ideal for Someone Who Is:

• Tech savvy: Our office runs on Apple. We access all of Google Drive’s features, Microsoft Office Suite, popular social media apps like ZeeMee, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, college applications platforms, web based applications, and texting.

• Detail-oriented: the job requires comfort with Excel and the ability to maintain 1,000 row spreadsheets, which means you need an incredibly strong memory system. You won’t be asked to write formulas or complete complex calculations, but you will be expected to keep the data clean and organized while you manage thousands of data points about students, schools, names, dates, and processes.

• Flexible: you will need to complete a multitude of tasks each day, take direction, and pivot in the moment based on where we are in the college application process.

• Can ask questions: You must not be afraid to ask questions and be comfortable with managing up. Your boss is the Director of Education for the entire center and will ask you to help out with other projects based on the ebb and flow of the college application cycle.

All of these skills will be assessed through the interview process.
