    Administrative Officer - Boston, United States - Northeastern University

    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    The College of Social Sciences and Humanities is a leader in the Experiential Liberal Arts. The College is strongly committed to fostering excellence through diversity and enthusiastically welcomes applications from members of groups underrepresented in higher education administration.



    The College's schools, departments, and programs—with disciplines ranging from economics and history to English, urban affairs and international affairs, form an interdisciplinary group of scholars with global perspectives and a culture of inclusion. Our expert faculty connects liberal arts education with the challenges of our time, fostering ethical reasoning and critical thought, with attention to the enduring significance of history, literature, and culture. Strategic Areas of Focus for the college's education and research throughout its global network are (1) Resilience, Sustainability, Health, and Equity, (2) Cultural Transformations, Governance, and Globalization, and (3) Network Science, Computational Social Science, Digital Humanities, and Information Ethics.

    CSSH has long been committed to creating a culture of inclusion for our students, faculty, and staff. Diversity and inclusion, as well as questions of race, racism, and anti-racism, are part of all our programs, all our research centers, our three areas of strategic focus—and are always work in progress. At the same time, we focus on how modes of constructing social hierarchies, including race, gender, sexuality, class, caste, and others, intersect with one another.

    Responsibilities:


    At the Department of Cultures, Societies, and Global Studies (CSGS), we
    drive interdisciplinary thinking and problem-solving on issues of pressing
    concern to society at local, state, national, and international level – from
    transportation, housing, energy and community development to social and
    environmental justice, resilience and sustainability. This department is
    home to the Africana Studies Program, Latino, Latin American and
    Caribbean Studies Program, Global Asian Studies, the Spanish major, the
    combined major in History, Culture and Law, and the combined program
    in Health, Humanities and Society.

    The Administrative Officer position will have a significant impact
    supporting the faculty and students who are working to address complex
    problems, serve communities and build a just, sustainable, and resilient
    world. This role oversees and provides advanced administrative support
    for the Department as the administrative go-to person, including tracking
    and maintaining Department and program budgets, financial transactions
    and reimbursements, maintaining the Department calendar, coordinating
    meetings and events, marketing and communications, and hiring and
    supervising office staff (co-op/work study students and Administrative Coordinator). They will be the main source of information for department
    faculty, disseminating key information to faculty and collecting information
    in return. This role will track important personnel data for faculty and
    assist the Department Chair with faculty hiring and searches.
    The Administrative Officer will collaborate with a variety of contacts
    throughout the college and University in the areas of Human Resources,
    Marketing/Communications, Finance, Events, and Faculty Affairs.
    Occasional evening work may be required to support departmental
    events. For example, the recent bell hooks symposium organized by the
    Africana Studies Program held at Northeastern's campus in Oakland,
    California (Mills College).


    Qualifications:

    Bachelor's degree required, Master's preferred, with 2 - 5 years of
    progressively responsible administrative support experience, or
    relative combination of education and experience required.
    Experience working in higher education is a plus.

    Preferred candidates will have:

    • the ability to work in a flexible and innovative environment, both
    • independently and as a collaborative team member
    • excellent interpersonal and written communication skills
    • (including very strong writing and proofreading skills)
    • demonstrated experience coordinating and executing events
    • from vision to event date

    • proficiency with MS Office products (Word, Excel, Outlook,
    • PowerPoint, Teams)
    • experience with web design, marketing, and communications;
    • and
    • skills with budgeting, financial transactions, and database

    • maintain a professional and positive demeanor;
