Administrative Assistant

Overview

Together, our administrative assistants work hard to gather and communicate relevant information, coordinate requests and approvals, and address general concerns to help our teams run effectively. We invite you to use your organizational skills and attention to detail to provide outstanding administrative support to our Global Business Development team in our California Regional office.

Responsibilities

• Time is precious, so let’s not waste it. Promptly coordinate daily requests including meetings and events, purchase requests, travel arrangements, and registrations for conferences and training classes.
• Help ensure the office is running smoothly. Assist with onsite vendor service visits for office equipment as well as provide onsite meeting coordination and IT support when needed.
• Deliver great service. Manage onboarding and offboarding for new hires, interns, and contractors and partner with HR representatives to handle onsite interview logistics.
• Do you like to stay in touch? Good! We need you to coordinate workflow processes with various divisions to ensure appropriate handling of team requests.
• Put your thinking cap on. You’ll solve administrative problems by analyzing workflows and identifying creative solutions that are in line with company and division policies and procedures.
• Become a subject matter expert. Respond to employees’ questions about administrative policies, methods, and guidelines. Communicate any updates and changes to management so they can be an expert too.
• Don’t worry about sitting idle. We are a growing company and always have additional opportunities to assist. As a bonus, you can learn a little about GIS along the way!
