Job Description

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at the Office Manager role I posted here on LinkedIn, I appreciate it. I realize that its frustrating looking for work these days, so I am going to try and make this as easy and straightforward as possible.

As with just about every role I work on, social fit and technical fit are almost equally as important. For this role, here are things that create a good social fit:

• For this role, we are looking for those optimistic people as opposed to those eternal pessimists. I think you know where I am going here. Have you ever visited an organization and it seemed as the people there dreaded what they were doing and looked at you - when you arrived - with that look saying 'so...what do you want...'. That kind of person just wont work well here. We are looking for those optimists...the kinds of people who people genuinely enjoy working with.
• There are those kinds of places where people genuinely want to do their best work. We are looking for that person who likes to take ownership and actually wants to do their best work.

Here is what we are seeking in this role:

You will be working on all those things that make an Office Manager into a FANTASTIC Office Manager. You will be something of the foundation of the daily operations of this office. Their are roughly 50 people in this office...so, not too small, but not too huge either.
