These pivotal roles ensure seamless daily operations, support our talented workforce, and drive organizational efficiency, directly impacting our ability to deliver exceptional real estate services to clients across the globe. By managing critical administrative functions, you will enable our teams to focus on high-value activities, fostering innovation and growth in a competitive industry. In this position, you will handle a diverse range of day-to-day tasks essential to office functionality. Daily responsibilities include managing incoming calls, emails, and correspondence, scheduling meetings, and coordinating calendars for executives and teams to optimize productivity. Weekly, you will prepare reports, update databases, and organize office supplies while ensuring compliance with company policies. Monthly duties encompass processing payroll inputs, assisting with HR onboarding for new hires, conducting inventory audits, and supporting event planning for team-building activities. You will collaborate closely with department heads, finance, and sales teams to facilitate smooth project handoffs and resolve operational bottlenecks. Key deliverables include accurate record-keeping with 100% data integrity, timely submission of expense reports, and metrics tracking for office efficiency improvements, such as reducing response times by 20%. If in a senior capacity, you may oversee junior staff, providing guidance on best practices and performance evaluations to build a high-performing support unit. Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Human Resources, or a related field, along with at least 3-5 years of progressive experience in administrative or HR support roles. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including advanced Excel for data analysis, Google Workspace, and HR software like BambooHR or Workday is required. Familiarity with New York employment regulations and real estate industry operations is highly desirable. Relevant certifications such as SHRM-CP for HR roles or Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) will set you apart, ensuring you can hit the ground running in our fast-paced environment. Success in this role demands a blend of technical and interpersonal skills. Technically, you should excel in database management, virtual meeting tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and basic project management software such as Asana or Trello. Soft skills are equally vital: exceptional communication for clear stakeholder interactions, meticulous attention to detail to prevent errors in sensitive documents, and strong organizational abilities to juggle multiple priorities. Problem-solving prowess and adaptability in a dynamic setting, coupled with discretion for handling confidential information, will enable you to thrive.
