AWESOME Administrative Assistant Wanted: Part-Time, 15-20 hours/week, Starting $12/hour, FREE Membership and other income opportunities.
Hi there!
My name is Dave Gleason and I’m the owner of Athletes Acceleration. For the past 8 years our business has been educating, motivating, and inspiring our Members to become the best version of themselves through our training, nutrition, mentoring and programming.
We specialize in Youth Fitness and Athletic Development for boys and girls 6-18 years old. We also have a fast growing adult population of 30-60 year old men and women that are concerned about transforming their body, mind and life!
Over the last couple months we’ve had tremendous growth and it’s come time for us to bring on some additional help behind the scenes to get to the “next level.” It’s our goal to help hundreds of young athletes on the South Shore become the best athlete and person they can. To do this, we need a strong supporting cast, which includes a SOLID Administrative Assistant (for lack of better words). Quite frankly, we need someone who is a rock star with administrative tasks (paperwork, data entry, etc), has a firm grasp of software and technology or learns these things easily (Client Management Software, WordPress, Word, Excel, Facebook, Instagram, Blogging, etc.), AND loves talking with people (handling inquiry calls, confirming appointments, and connecting with members).
WARNING: Working in an entrepreneurial environment is much different than working for a “regular” company – we often build the plane as we fly it. Creativity and flexibility are a must!
In addition, we’re looking for someone with the following 12 Entrepreneurial Attitudes:
- Create Value
- Take Initiative
- Focus on Results
- Have an Ownership Attitude
- Be in Alignment
- Be a Partner
- Take Action
- Be Open
- Communicate
- Learn How to Handle Strong Emotions
- Have Patience and Compassion
- Don’t Give Up
If you are hired for this position you will need to come to the facility at least 3 days per week Monday – Friday and occasionally on weekends for special events. There will be some flexibility to the hours.
Training time is NOT part of your work hours, but is provided as part of your compensation plan). We’re providing free training (valued up to $189 or more per month) so that you can better understand our services and relate to our Members. Plus, it’s a great health benefit!
