Office Administrator

Office Administrator

Sela V Hotel is opening a new restaurant in Brooklyn, led by a top chef bringing together the flavors of the Middle East, the Balkans, and North Africa. We're looking for an organized, fast-moving Office Administrator to run the office side of a growing operation — this role manages the business office only, not restaurant floor operations. This is a chance to be part of building a new business from the ground up, not a standard admin role at an established company.

The role:

• Handle day-to-day office administration and organization.
• Liaise with our external bookkeeping/accounting firm and keep financial documentation organized and on schedule.
• Coordinate and communicate with vendors and suppliers.
• Manage documents, correspondence, invoicing, and scheduling.
• Support basic HR tasks — employee paperwork, onboarding documentation, and recordkeeping.
• Support ownership with ongoing administrative needs as the business grows.

Required:

• Working understanding of bookkeeping and financial recordkeeping — you don't need to be an accountant, but you need to be comfortable with the basics.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook).
• Fast, efficient work pace.
• Experience coordinating with vendors or suppliers.
• Quick learner who can pick up new systems and processes with minimal guidance.
• High attention to detail and discretion with sensitive business and financial information.
• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
• Reliable and punctual.

Preferred:

• Background in hospitality or restaurant operations — not required, but an understanding of how fast-moving and dynamic the restaurant industry is will help you prioritize the right things.
• Previous office administration experience in a restaurant, hospitality, or small business setting.
• Stable work history with previous employers.

What we offer:

• Employee discount.
• Complimentary coffee during shifts.
• Professional training and onboarding.
• Growth opportunities as the company expands.
• Professional, organized work environment.
• We're building out our formal benefits package as we grow and are open to discussing options with the right candidate.
