what does an office manager do?
i see a job listing for an office manager at a local college. what is the job description? thank you!!
Re: what does an office manager do?
for me, as office mgr at a construction company, I am in charge of ALL accts. payable, accounts receivable, payroll, job costing, bank reconcilations, tax prep for outside CPA firm, etc... ( basically ALL business activities)
I delegate as needed but it is ultimately MY responsibility that things are done and are done correctly.
It is best to get the job description from the employer. What did the job listing say? Have you looked on the college HR website for a better description?
The Office Manager could do things such as: bookkeeping, order supplies, dealing with vendors (eg, company the copy machine is rented through), arrange travel for management, answer phones, greet customers, provide administrative support to office, handle shipping needs (UPS/FedEx/USPS contracts), etc. This is not an all-inclusive list.
For a college it varies grealty but I was one at a University and my dutities included:
Customer service, managing the student assistants, their schedule and the front desk, phones
Assisting professors with typing and copying and general hand holding
Assisting with grade issues, registration and grading
scheduling office meetings and events as well as the conference rooms on our floor
managed keys and building access
ordering textbooks for professors and for classes
Faculty and staff hiring and first HR contact
Budget ( this was handled by someone else, but I assisted as necessary
This was an office manager for a department. If this was for another office the registration and grading would probably replaced with something else.
