We're hiring!!! Be a women's wealth warrior

We are looking for that right hand woman, dedicated to our mission of empowering women to take control of their finances. Brooklyn Plans (BKP), an organization dedicated to helping today’s women gain clarity and balance with their finances, is seeking a paid part-time administrative assistant in its Brooklyn location to help complete various administrative and client service tasks.

Are you the kind of person who notices when a comma is missing in an article you read? Do you like organizing complex sets of information so that it is neat, orderly and even appealing to the eye? Do you proofread everything you write three times before hitting the send button on gmail (because you do use gmail), even if it's just a quick note to your mom? Do you anticipate problems before they happen and find yourself lending your umbrella to friends and coworkers who didn't check the weather that morning? Do people go to you to plan their parties and functions because they know you'll think of everything, even a friend's favorite color for the balloons and people will have a great time? If you answered yes to these questions, then you may be just right for this position: a detail-oriented careful thinker who is 110% on top of things to be my right-hand woman. You know the answer before I ask the question. You've already scheduled the appointment I wanted to ask you to schedule. Your answer is "I took care of it already" or "I'm on it." And sure, everyone makes mistakes, but you're so careful you don't make them very often. If this describes you, then you are the person I need!

These functions include: scheduling client appointments, data entry, email system management and client correspondence via email and phone, social media and content management, picking up or dropping off packages, overseeing billing of clients, making copies, scanning documents and other assorted administrative tasks.

Additional responsibilities in other areas may be required, as needed, such as some personal assistant tasks like scheduling personal appointments or running errands. Professional training to be provided by employer. The position is currently 5-10 hours per week with the opportunity for growth.
