  • Financial & Payroll Acumen: Proven experience managing invoicing workflows, vendor accounts payable, employee payroll systems, and project cost tracking.
  • Benefits Familiarity: Solid understanding of company health insurance enrollment, tracking benefits deductions, and standard workplace wellness structures.
  • Technical Aptitude: Experience coordinating with external IT providers, managing software-as-a-service (SaaS) licensing, and managing physical hardware lifecycles.
  • Architectural Industry Knowledge: Strong familiarity with design firm operations, architectural project phases (SD, DD, CD, CA), and subconsultant tracking.
  • Leadership Skills: Confident ability to manage internal staff workflows, hold external vendors accountable, and make executive operational decisions.
