Job Description
The Administrative Manager is responsible for managing a team of Front Desk Associates and all front and back of house processes and procedures to ensure a high quality of customer service and administrative work, and the smooth running of the campus. This includes playing a key role in the campus's admissions pipeline — from managing consultation request queues and follow-up communications to driving conversion and re-enrollment — ensuring no prospective or current family falls through the cracks. From hiring, training, and coaching part-time employees, to implementing and iterating on campus procedures and systems, the Administrative Manager is a key operational leader on the Academy team. Additionally, the Administrative Manager serves as a point-of-contact internally between campus staff and externally with customers and community partners and is the go-to campus decision maker in the event that Directors are unavailable. This role is a full-time, year-round position which includes the academic year and summer.
The Administrative Manager will:
- Interview, hire, train, develop, and manage a team of Front Desk Associates.
- Ensure and execute exemplary customer service delivery via phone, in-person, and email correspondence.
- Create, implement, improve, and document procedures and administrative systems for efficient campus operations.
- Take inventory and place purchasing orders.
- Oversee maintenance and repair of campus facilities, sourcing and coordinating with vendors and collaborating with the HQ Operations team as needed.
- Plan, organize, and run campus events for customers and staff that support campus enrollments and retention.
- Play a key role in the campus's admissions and enrollment pipeline: manage consultation request queues end-to-end, ensure timely and high-quality follow-up after every consultation, hold Front Desk Associates accountable for their share of follow-up outreach, and adjust intake processes with the Director team to meet demand.
- Drive conversion, retention, and re-enrollment through proactive, well-executed email and phone campaigns, treating follow-through as a measurable outcome, not an afterthought.
The ideal candidate has:
- 1-2 years experience as an Art of Problem Solving Academy Front Desk Associate or 2+ years of customer service and administrative experience that includes people management
- Some postsecondary education preferred
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively
- Strong operational leadership skills, including ownership of administrative and customer service procedures and processes
- Strong task and time management skills
- Commitment to achieving organizational consistency and efficiency
- Ability to expertly manage up and down the chain
- Ability to cultivate a warm, welcoming work environment and positive culture for staff and customers
- Growth and retention mindset
- Exceptional interpersonal, written, and verbal communication expertise
- Experience with event planning for customers and/or staff
- Proficiency with office technology and equipment
- Preferred: Experience managing an admissions, sales, or enrollment pipeline, with a track record of strong follow-up and conversion
