Administrative Coordinator / Executive Scheduler (in-office, full-time)
AMDG Architects seeks an administrative pro who can balance concierge-level service of the team members, clients, and partners with protecting the Firm's energy, focus, and time. This is a very dynamic, (mostly) internal-facing role in a fast-paced firm. No two days will be alike.
