The National Information Standards Organization (www.niso.org) is seeking a highly-motivated Office Manager to join its team of dedicated professionals. NISO is a nonprofit, membership organization, whose mission is to build knowledge, foster discussion, and advance authoritative standards development through collaboration among the cultural, scholarly, scientific, and professional communities. As part of our commitment to improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the information community - and our own organization - we actively support an equitable work environment, striving to be inclusive and respectful of everyone's perspectives and experiences.
This is an excellent opportunity to show your range of skills in a small entrepreneurial non-profit environment, where you can grow in new directions and expand your skills and responsibilities. In exchange for your enthusiasm and skills, you will learn about the technologies shaping our media environment, have a flexible working environment, and receive competitive compensation and benefits.
The Office Manager is responsible for the overall operational management of the NISO office and organization, including: accounting, business and personnel administration, internal communications, and executive support, as well as clerical duties to ensure NISO's success. Routine responsibilities include payroll and benefit processing; financial management of accounts receivable and accounts payable; maintenance of business documentation and insurance renewals; NISO membership records management, renewal invoicing and payment collection; and providing support to the Executive Director and Board of Directors.
The successful applicant will have a Bachelor's degree (additional experience can stand in for a degree) and at least 5 years of administrative, organizational, or direct office management experience, preferably with a non-profit or association. Experience managing a QuickBooks accounting system is required. The Office Manager must be independent, flexible, and responsive. Excellent critical thinking and oral and written communications skills are vital, along with a high level of computer literacy, including: Salesforce, Microsoft Office, and PowerPoint. Association management platform experience is a plus, as is grant management experience.
NISO provides a flexible working environment, generous benefits, and a competitive salary. As an equal opportunity employer, we believe our organization thrives through diversity and the respectful inclusion of a range of perspectives and backgrounds, and through encouraging everyone to reach their full potential. Given the nature of this role, it is not eligible for fully remote work, although NISO is supportive of alternative working arrangements for our staff.
