• Plan and coordinate a high volume of meetings, including appointments involving residents, landlords, inspections, and other department-related participants.

• Prepare for meetings and conference calls by managing invitations, confirming attendance, and supporting related administrative follow-up.

• Handle sensitive records and confidential communications with sound judgment and a high level of care.

• Serve as a reliable point of contact for external partners, including public agencies and government offices, responding clearly and courteously.

• Monitor office supply levels and assist with general administrative operations to help maintain an efficient work environment.

• Provide additional department support as needed, which may include travel coordination and document preparation related to business activities.

• Assist with special administrative assignments and process-related tasks as priorities shift within the department.

Other requirements for the Sr. Administrative Assistant position include and are not limited to:

• Previous experience providing senior-level or executive administrative support in a fast-paced work setting.

• Demonstrated ability to manage calendars, appointments, and high-volume scheduling with strong attention to detail.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with internal and external stakeholders.

• Strong organizational skills with the capacity to balance multiple tasks, deadlines, and changing priorities.

• Proven ability to handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment.

• Proficiency in general administrative support functions, including meeting coordination, conference calls, and office operations.

• Ability to learn department procedures quickly and apply them accurately in daily work.

• Experience supporting travel arrangements and preparing business-related documentation is preferred.
