About the Role
This role supports the day-to-day operations of a seminary that conducts most of its work online. Routine responsibilities include managing mail and inventory, and ensuring faculty and staff have the materials and equipment they need. Typically five to six times a year, the scope expands to include on-site event support—coordinating hospitality for a class session, managing logistics for Commencement Week (mid-May), or supporting Orientation Weekend (late August). This position suits someone comfortable balancing independent, steady administrative work with concentrated periods of hands-on event coordination.
