The Senior Secretary typically reports to a Dean or comparable function and requires the ability to organize and coordinate work and information flow, conduct research, provide support to projects that often involve other functional areas, perform workload computations for faculty assignments, assist with curriculum processes, and to schedule and sequence required reports and other time-sensitive activities. Requires a working knowledge of computer-based software programs that support this level of work, including, but not limited to, word processing, spreadsheet, presentation graphics, desktop publishing, special applications used by the organization unit, and data entry onto custom databases.
