Office Manager

Wexley School for Girls is an advertising and marketing agency located in downtown Seattle. We have twenty-two creative minded people who are looking for someone to keep this place running smoothly. Our current office manager kicks complete ass, but she’s moving on… so we need to find our new organizational expert.

At priority for the office manager is to be the first face of Wexley. This means when someone makes contact with us, either in person, on the phone, or through our headmaster email it’s that person’s job to make them think Wexley kicks ass. So, that should come naturally. Phone, doorbell, mailman, pizza lady, UNICEF collector, sales rep, petty thief, it’s all the same. Priority one is to make their acquaintance.

Reality is, that ‘most important thing’ will take about 10% of the day. So, the role also enjoys a variety of responsibilities, and we expect the person is capable of making confident decisions and proactively solving problems with minimal oversight, while maintaining enthusiasm for the task at hand. It means setting up an extremely organized system so a rookie can walk up and tag in if needed. Some of the other things to fill that position’s day:

• Cost effectively managing/delivering all aspect of daily office administration, including:
o Organizing office operations and procedures
o Establishing and managing any vendor relationships (from Costco to cleaning service to travel agents)
o Assessing and filtering all IT needs to our tech vendor
o Maintaining filing systems
o Managing supply requisitions… etc
o Setting up/stocking conference rooms for major meetings
o Curate the Wexley Bible
o Running errands as needed
o Keeping the office tidy as needed (though we have a cleaning crew that you’ll manage the relationship with)
o Light involvement in accounts payable/receivable, maintaining purchase records

• Management of the Wexley Traffic sheet. This will include:
o Working cross-agency to make sure it is constantly up-to-date with our latest clients, projects and status
o Working with leadership team to determine workload balance of employees on active and incoming work
o Leading our weekly, all-agency traffic meetings

• Basic HR management:
o On-boarding and off-boarding employees, and making sure all HR, technology and payroll issues are managed on their behalf
o Developing and maintaining an employee records system
o Tracking vacation time and out of office

• Supporting the Wexley Wear business in any way you can, including order fulfillment and talking to retail outlets as needed.
• Comfortable in effectively communicating with all levels of people, from CEOs to interns.
• Proactively problem-solve and put new processes in place to make the office hum. Be the Super Glue that keeps this place going.

OK, so that’s a ton of stuff. It’s all important though; if you’re a qualified person you’ll have 2-3 years of experience in those areas and will have no problem rocking them out. You will probably also be able to school most people in Office 2007 (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), can pick up most new technology and master it quickly, have great verbal and written communications skills and are a self-starter, proactive, dependable, creative and flexible. Sound like you? We’re in the big yellow building on 5th Ave and we’re waiting for your resume.
