Part-time Administrative Assistant

36 Education is currently seeking a temp-to-hire part-time administrative assistant to join our growing team. There is currently one other part-time administrative assistant you'll be training under. This role reports to the Executive Director of Operations and will require roughly 16-24 hours per week of weekday, daytime work. During busy seasons such as summer, these hours could be higher if... you are interested in more hours. During the training period, we'll need Monday, Thursday, and Friday availability (4-6 hours a day) in order to overlap with, and learn from, our existing admin. After training is over, your shift will be a minimum of 6-8 hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in order to support the Executive Director. • All work is done remotely. • Responsibilities will involve supporting internal operations, such as scheduling, grading tests, data entry, communicating with clients. • This is not a temporary job. Employees who thrive here usually stay with us for many years. It takes a significant amount of time to learn all of the processes, and this role isn't designed to function well as a stepping stone to something else. Requirements: • Experience in (or knowledge of!) the test prep, college admissions, or similar industry is preferred, some knowledge of the ACT or SAT and college admissions process required. Extra industry training will be provided for truly exceptional candidates with no experience in the industry. • An impeccable sense for detail, since writing clear and thoughtful client-facing emails and processing accurate billing are part of the role. • A strong, reliable internet connection and computer. • Tech-savviness: this role will require daily use of Acuity Scheduling, Trello, Google Sheets. Training will be provided, but speed and efficiency are of paramount importance. • Caring and empathetic interest in students and parents as people, not just clients. • Deep commitment to the client—diligent, responsible, communicative, articulate. • Answers to the pre-screening questions below. Compensation: • $15/hour (or minimum wage, whichever is higher) for training/trial period (~2 weeks) and $19/hour to $22/hour for part-time administrative work, depending on cost of living. A higher rate may be available for candidates with an extraordinary amount of experience in the industry. • After 3 months, you will be given the opportunity to participate in a 401(k) with a 4% employer match. • Paychecks are sent bi-weekly on Fridays via direct deposit. What people like about working here: • Culture: we prioritize family life and personal health. • Clients: we are a purely referral-based company, and we develop deep and long-lasting relationships with the families who work with us. • Our team: we’re nerdy, compassionate, progressive, hard-working, and obsessed with helping students. REQUIRED Pre-Screening Questions: 1. What are your long-term plans, and why does this role fit into your long-term vision? 2. What is your experience in the test prep or college admissions industry? If none, why might you be a stellar candidate without the experience? 3. Describe your proficiency with computer and software programs as well as typing speed (approximate).
