Administrative Manager

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.

• 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.

• 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
