Senior Administrative Assistant

Cambridge, MA | $27–35/hr based on experience | M–F, 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM

We’re looking for a Senior Administrative Assistant to support a high-profile faculty member at one of the world’s top business schools. Ideal for someone who brings the finesse and efficiency of executive support, but thrives in a more collaborative, academic environment where the culture is less hierarchical. You’ll work in a mission-driven, high-performing academic environment that values professionalism, flexibility, and initiative.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being the go-to person and is comfortable working closely with a hands-on manager who values routine, structure, and direct communication. If you’re highly organized, tech-savvy, and can adapt to changing needs without missing a beat, you’ll thrive here.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work within a globally respected academic institution, a name that opens doors
• Great opportunity for professional development in a high-impact, visible role
• Strong benefits and access to campus perks: free classes, wellness programs, speaker events, and more
• Join a collaborative, mission-driven environment working on some of today’s most meaningful business challenges

Responsibilities:

• Coordinate a dynamic calendar and serve as the point person for scheduling adjustments throughout the day
• Support a popular graduate-level course: manage the waitlist, compile materials, and handle class logistics
• Assist with events, workshops, and visiting guests, including travel arrangements, catering, and setup/cleanup for evening classes
• Help manage internal workflows using tools like Asana, Zoom, and Google Calendar

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of administrative experience with complex calendar management responsibilities
• Comfortable working a 9:30am–6:00pm schedule
• Flexible and steady under pressure, with a collaborative mindset and respect for a manager who prefers a clear, structured way of working
• Strong attention to detail and professionalism in both written and verbal communication
