  • Track expenses and manage budgets, including processing invoices and expense reports.
  • Ensure a well-maintained office by monitoring supply levels, kitchen needs, and common space organization.
  • Draft, review, and edit business communications including invoices, financial reports, and external agreements.

  • Exceptional communicator. You deliver high-touch service to both internal and external contacts.
  • Adaptable and agile. You’re energized by variety and can shift gears with ease.
