About Our Client:

Inspired Minds Art Center (https://www.inspiredminds.art/) is a proudly local, woman-owned arts space in the heart of the Buda, TX community. People of all ages come together here to make, learn, watch, listen, and connect through hands-on art and theatre classes, walk-in creative experiences, live theatre, gallery exhibitions, festivals, and free community events.

Inspired Minds Art Center is seeking a highly organized, dependable, and proactive  Administrative Operations Coordinator to serve as the operational heartbeat of our organization.  This is a people-first, detail-driven role that blends warm front-office hospitality with behind-the scenes administrative and operational ownership. 

At IMAC, we are process-focused creative problem solvers — we value how work gets done,  not just that it gets done. The right person for this role approaches challenges with curiosity and  brings thoughtful, creative solutions to a busy, ever-changing environment. 

We are a colorful, welcoming, and community-minded organization, and this role is central to  delivering that experience every single day. You will be the first face visitors see, the voice that  answers the phone, and the person who ensures that our spaces, calendar, and operations are  running smoothly and beautifully. 

We value clear and consistent communication — and we need someone who embodies that.  This person keeps information organized, deadlines met, and the team aligned without needing  to be chased or reminded. 

Above all, we are looking for someone who is trustworthy and committed — someone who takes  ownership of their role, follows through with integrity, and helps make IMAC a more reliable and  joyful place to work and create. And because we are a growing organization, flexibility is  essential: the ability to adapt, stay solution-oriented, and respond thoughtfully to change while  staying grounded in our mission. 

The Administrative Operations Coordinator owns the day-to-day administrative, operational, and  studio functions of Inspired Minds Art Center. This includes front desk and reception, calendar  and space management for all IMAC programs and rentals, studio operations, registration data  support, volunteer coordination, and systems management. 

This person will work morning hours on administrative tasks and be present at the front desk  during public lobby hours from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. They will be the go-to person for keeping  IMAC organized, responsive, and running smoothly across all areas of operations.

• Studio operations management, including organization, supply oversight, and procedural  documentation. 
• Volunteer coordination, including recruitment, scheduling, training, and retention using  VolunteerMark.

This is a full-time, salaried position at $36,000 per year, scheduled for 40 hours per week. Standard hours include lobby coverage from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, with earlier hours dedicated to administrative and operational responsibilities.
