Do people marvel at your attention to detail, problem solving ability and time management? Are you able to transition and handle many different tasks all at the same time? 

Do you think spreadsheets, reports and lists are a thing of beauty? Are you good with numbers and understand the financial aspect of businesses? Have you ever prepared complex plans to find out later that your foresight and preparation saved the day? 

Are you very independent - knowing what to do next, anticipating needs, prioritizing on your own like a champ but also comfortable helping manage others, devising and showing ways for them to work better within the team? Are you constantly thinking of how something could improve or new ways to do things and are you comfortable leading the changes into fruition? Do you work well with people, and are you excellent at touching base and communicating with team members and supervisors, running weekly meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page? 

We are a team of busy creatives who need help facilitating our expanding production/communication needs.  At our small and growing company - we need an organizational guru who can keep tabs on everything that is going on in the company - keeping communication channels open and clear for the rest of the team - making sure each job is moving forward to completion. 

======

What you’ll do: 

How is this role different from typical office manager roles?  

• Will be doing pre-production work/organizing/assisting with casting and making call sheets.
• This role will remain primarily in the office, but there may be times where you visit crew on set for a short time to deliver items/lunch or check in with the team from time to time - to ensure consistency (with so many other roles being in and out). 
• Will be checking in/communicating and sometimes managing the follow through with artist-types (whose organization capacity may not be their super power (like you)).
• We have a casual friendly work environment and may do things a little differently than a typical office e.g. you will be amidst the hum of editing machines and the ping pong ball bounces in the background.
• You will have support but humility will be necessary - We are too small to have an admin support staff at this time - you will be the entire admin team; getting the door, answering the phone/checking messages, maintaining supplies, occasionally setting up lunches and clean-up will need your lead.
• You will be updating our cloud-based internal communications software continually to make sure jobs are moving forward, changes are notated and accounted for to smooth operations - not allowing anything to be dropped.  
• We use only Macs in our office, you will use Quickbooks online and online banking and other new and emerging software.
• This is a deadline driven environment, you will be running daily personal and weekly office-wide meetings to go over needed info. 
• This is a newly created position and will require your initiative to fill out the role. You must be patient with the process - will have to impart a lot of knowledge from busy staff and move job functions. We will be looking to you to fit within our current structure - working closely with our entire staff to build better strategies and methods to increase productivity and communication among departments that aid in daily operations.
