• Manage the calendar of annual business filings, licenses, and registrations, and make sure everything is submitted on time.
• Track department spending against budget and prepare simple reports.
• Help maintain the company’s records retention program: what we keep, for how long, and when it can be disposed of.
• Maintain department databases and files so information is accurate and easy to find.
• Take on other administrative projects that support the department and the business.

What You Bring 

• 2+ years of administrative, office coordination, or project support experience.
