Office Manager & Administrative Assistant

Location: Baton Rouge, LA (70809)

Pay Rate: $18.00 – $22.00 / hour (Based on Experience)

Schedule: Monday – Friday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Full-Time)

Role Overview

Are you a versatile professional who enjoys variety in your workday? A locally owned, family-run distribution company in Baton Rouge is looking for an Office Manager / Assistant to serve as the backbone of their daily operations.

This is not a typical "sit-at-the-desk" customer service role. We are looking for a true right-hand assistant—someone with a "can-do" attitude who is willing to wear many hats, from managing books to occasionally helping out in the warehouse. If you thrive in a small-business environment where your contributions are noticed and valued, this is the place for you.

Primary Responsibilities

• Office Administration: Serve as the first point of contact for the company; answering phones, greeting customers, and managing daily correspondence.

• Bookkeeping & Data Entry: Utilize QuickBooks to manage basic financial data and ensure all records are accurate.

• Executive Support: Act as a personal assistant to the leadership team, helping with daily tasks and administrative needs.

• Team Support & Logistics: Assist in the warehouse approximately once every three weeks to help unload and document shipments (no heavy lifting required, just a willingness to pitch in).

• Information Management: Efficiently navigate computer systems to input data and maintain company records.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: Proven experience in office administration or as a personal assistant. More than basic CSR experience is required.

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in QuickBooks and basic computer navigation.

• Industry Knowledge: Previous experience in an industrial or distribution setting is a major plus.

• Mindset: A positive, "all hands on deck" attitude. We are looking for someone flexible who is happy to help wherever needed.

• Compliance: Must be able to pass a Background Check and a 5-Panel Drug Test.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Family Atmosphere: Work for a local business that treats its employees like family.

• Variety: No two days are exactly the same, keeping the work engaging and fresh.

• Stability: Consistent daytime hours with a dedicated, locally-based team.
