Make a Meaningful Impact Behind the Scenes

Looking for an administrative role where your organization, professionalism, and people skills truly matter?

Robert Half is partnering with a respected organization seeking an Administrative Support Specialist to help keep day-to-day operations running smoothly during a busy season. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys variety in their day, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in creating a welcoming, organized experience for clients and visitors. While this opportunity is based within a funeral services organization, the role itself is centered on customer service, office administration, communication, and operational support. You'll be the person helping ensure important details don't get missed, visitors feel supported, and the office stays organized during times when professionalism and compassion matter most.

What You'll Do:

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for visitors, clients, vendors, and team members

  • Manage 20-30 daily phone calls and email inquiries

  • Schedule, coordinate, and track administrative activities

  • Scan, organize, and maintain confidential files and documentation

  • Support office projects and operational initiatives

  • Coordinate with vendors and internal departments to keep operations running efficiently

  • Maintain accurate records and databases

  • Provide exceptional customer service in a professional office environment

Requirements

What We're Looking For:

  • Administrative, customer service, reception, office coordinator, or related experience

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

  • Excellent time management and multitasking abilities

  • Comfortable managing a high volume of calls, emails, and competing priorities

  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook

  • A professional, empathetic, and customer-focused approach

Why Candidates Love This Type of Role

  • Meaningful work that supports people during important life moments

  • Stable office environment with a well-established organization

  • Opportunity to strengthen administrative, customer service, and operations experience

  • Exposure to project coordination, vendor management, and office operations

  • Great fit for professionals who enjoy helping people and keeping processes organized

When you partner with us, you'll gain:

  • Access to roles that aren't always publicly advertised

  • A dedicated recruiter who advocates for your strengths

  • Insight into company culture and hiring expectations

  • Ongoing support throughout the interview and onboarding process

  • Opportunities to expand your skills, experience, and professional network
