DESCRIPTION

A small consulting company, Canavan Associates, seeks an individual to be the team’s administrative assistant. The employee will be part-time at 20 hours per week with salary commensurate with experience. The position is based in Boston, though much of the work will be remote.

• Editing, writing, and formatting documents
• Taking notes during meetings
• Working with the accounting team to manage bill payments and contracts
• Preparing invoices and managing travel receipts
• Assisting to coordinate personal and individual appointments in addition to professional appointments
• Supporting complex schedules, both personal and professional
• Assisting the managing director with several personal projects, such as integrating materials from an office into his home office since we’ve recently moved to remote work
• Occasionally organizing and running the logistics for large meetings (approximately once a year)
• Scheduling meetings
• Booking travel
• Checking the voicemails
• Collaborating with and supporting other team members on special projects
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel
• Must have the ability to work independently and prioritize workload
• Must have excellent attention to detail and be organized - as you will be the pillar sustaining order in our team, you should be a paragon of organization yourself
