Job Summary
Job Description
As administrator, you'll help with the smooth running of BYO. Highly motivated and organised, you'll be a crucial member of the BYO team and involved in all areas of our work.
You'll support the entire team with administrative duties and be an important point of contact for lots of different external people, from applicants to board members.
To do all of that you'll need to be efficient and able to split your time between lots of different things. BYO has a very small core team and a large number of freelancers and external staff that join for programmes, events and performances. Our registered office is at the London Coliseum but day-to-day, when our big programmes aren't running, we work remotely - so you'll need to be confident working by yourself as well as part of a larger team.
Job Requirements
In terms of skills and experience, you'll definitely need to:
- Have very strong organisational skills
- Be confident managing and prioritising a busy workload
- Be confident working remotely
- Have previous administrative experience, although this doesn't need to be in a dedicated 'administrator' role
- Be a problem solver, able to spot inefficiencies and understand lengthy and complicated systems and processes
- Be able to confidently communicate with a wide range of people at different levels, from board members to participants
- Good general IT skills - emails, spreadsheets, documents etc.
It would also be useful, but not completely essential, if you:
- Have experience working in an arts, culture or other non profit environment
- Have experience working with CRM or other database systems
Job Responsibilities
As administrator, you'll be responsible for:
- Maintaining and updating our fundraising database
- Booking rooms, venues and other logisitics for our programmes
- Administrating our friends and patrons schemes
- Basic finance tasks, like processing invoices and tracking payments
- Pulling reports from our database
- Helping to organise fundraising events
- Coordinating applications, auditions and interviews for our programmes and making sure everyone has the information they need, when they need it
- Supporting with and coordinating marketing and fundraising mailings
- Collating content for our supporters magazine
- Helping with research and reporting for funders
- Liaising with key stakeholders, including the board of trustees and freelancers
