We’re hiring! Senior Administration Officer role available immediately!

[ this job ad posted 27th October 2017 ]

Are you ridiculously organized? Do you work on your daily to-do list in between snoozes on the alarm clock, or have you already got them sorted from the day before? Do you believe variety is the spice of life? Sick of working in roles where you don’t get a chance to make a difference, don’t see the results from your efforts, and your suggestions fall on deaf ears? Do you want to be one of the vital cogs that makes all the wheels turn in a small business?

We’re seeking amazingly talented, reliable, and intelligent people to join our team, to fill the role of Senior Administration Officer. You’ll be taking care of a huge variety of tasks throughout the office and business, and supervising the Junior Administration Officer as well. We’re a well-established and comfortably growing IT services provider, and we look after the IT requirements for small and medium businesses throughout Australia. The position is part time, based in Malaga, WA, and we’re needing you for 24-ish hours a week.

The role has exposure to just about every area of the business, and, working with our entire team you will be responsible for activities listed below, including some first point of contact duties, contract editing and review, keeping things under control in MYOB (training provided if required), purchasing, marketing, making people feel awesome, as well as assisting the Managing Director in the day to day business operations.

We’re super pumped to be able to offer two new administrative positions within our established, fun, and modestly successful company. Both roles are collaborative, working together on common tasks throughout the course of a week, but they differ in responsibility from each other. This job ad is for the Senior Administration Officer; there is also a Junior Administration Officer role available.
