Administrative Assistant (Mid-Level)

Location: Onsite – Lexington, MA

Contract Length: 12 months+ with potential for long-term opportunities

Pay Rate: $35–$42/hr (W2) depending on experience

We’re seeking a proactive and dependable Administrative Assistant to support busy, high-performing technical groups. This is not a front desk or receptionist role — we’re looking for someone with demonstrated success supporting large departments or teams , ideally in a fast-paced or technical/corporate environment. You will play a critical role in scheduling, planning internal events, coordinating visits, and handling day-to-day operations for teams of 40+ individuals across multiple managers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage complex calendars and scheduling across multiple leaders and team members
  • Coordinate internal and external meetings, customer visits, and onsite sponsor engagements
  • Support event logistics: ordering food, reserving rooms, sending invites, and ensuring smooth execution
  • Place and track purchase orders for equipment and services; follow up with vendors as needed
  • Assist in triaging requests from staff and leadership — redirecting and escalating appropriately
  • Partner with other administrative professionals across departments to maintain team alignment and coverage
  • Use MS Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel) for daily communications, scheduling, and documentation
  • Maintain office organization, supplies, and shared resources

Preferred Qualifications

  • 5–10 years of administrative experience, ideally in a corporate or technical environment
  • Proven ability to support larger departments or teams (not just 1–2 executives)
  • Experience with complex scheduling, coordinating visits, and managing administrative workflows
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills — able to work across teams with a positive, low-drama approach
  • Adaptability is key: comfortable learning new systems and flexing responsibilities as needs evolve
  • Detail-oriented, dependable, and capable of operating independently once trained

Work Environment & Expectations

  • 100% onsite in Lexington, MA — this is required and non-negotiable, particularly during the first 3–6 months
  • Must be reliable, punctual, and able to handle a high-volume, fast-moving office
  • You will be joining a collaborative team of administrators — this is a highly team-based role
  • Arrival time must be between 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM , with flexibility to support team needs through 5:00–6:00 PM
