The posting

Plymouth State University invites qualified candidates to apply for the position of Administrative Specialist for the School of Health. Under general supervision of the School Director, the Administrative Specialist will provide administrative support (academic, HR, Finance, and other) to faculty, staff, and students within the School. The Administrative Specialist will ensure the smooth operations of the School through knowledge and appropriate application of institutional policy, procedures, rules, and regulations. This position is critical to providing stability to the operational structure of the School.

Plymouth State University’s academic programs are organized into six Schools. Each one consists of faculty, staff, and students associated with multiple degree programs and academic disciplines. Administrative Specialists will provide administrative leadership in collaboration with directors and support assistants in their assigned School, but will also work with colleagues in other Schools and with support staff across the University to ensure student and program success.

The Director, the Administrative Specialist, and the AOM will work together as a team, and as such, the Administrative Specialist duties might not be exclusive to what is outlined in this description. This role is dynamic and requires a willingness to be flexible.

Duties/Responsibilities

Academic and Financial Support (70%)

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for the School and its programs to non-School offices and services such as Admissions, ACAC, Communications and Marketing, Advancement, Student Life, the Registrar’s Office, Student Financial Services, etc. to promote operational efficiency and enhanced communication.
  • Be part of the monthly leadership meetings with OAA.
  • Together with the Director, take care of operational and academic needs of the School, including:
  • Serving as a primary contact to OAA for operational tasks and problem solving

  • Develop/managing School’s SharePoint site to facilitate internal communications and project management.
