- Collaborate with the finance department, the division project manager and the vice president to create and maintain the vice president’s budget;
- Assist the project manager with maintaining the division’s budget
- Execute special projects as needed;
- Support the senior press officer on days he/she is absent or unavailable; and
- Organize and maintain paper and electronic files.
Qualifications:
- BA/BS or equivalent degree required;
- 2+ years experience providing administrative or other kind of support in a dynamic, high-energy environment;
- Experience in communications, journalism, nonprofit sector, advocacy or campaign work, including social media, digital, print, television, or radio a plus;
- Excellent writing, editing and proofreading skills are a must;
- Exceptionally organized, detail-oriented and able to manage multiple complex tasks;
- Flexible work style with the ability to work under tight deadlines and with shifting priorities;
