• Work regularly in Sawyer (class management software) and Acuity (private appointment software) to manage registrations, rosters, appointments, schedules, client accounts, and class information.
• Get to know our clients and serve them well with patience, kindness, organization and intelligence. Assist with client emails, phones, in-person support, other communications, and help prospective clients learn what we do and explain why Catapult could be a good fit for them.
• Help maintain the info@catapultacting.com inbox, coordinated with the team, to ensure timely and professional responses.
• Lead coverage for on-site studio opening, answering phones and general support on some days, and closing studio on other days.
• Maintain accurate spreadsheets, data, calendars, and shared files using Google Workspace/Drive and/or other future tools.
• Assist in planning class semesters and sessions, including dates, descriptions, and materials.
• Keep track of outgoing emails we need to send to current students, Conservatory students, and several other segments of clients and non-clients. Need information organized and planned proactively. 
• Support coaches and staff with real-time studio needs, including room availability, schedule changes, and accommodating a variety of on-the-spot needs.
• Help keep the studio organized, stocked, and prepared for what's coming next, including opening and closing responsibilities as needed (we have weekly cleaning service, but some duties will require light housekeeping throughout the week in between cleanings).
• Help ensure instructors, TAs, classrooms, and materials are ready for upcoming classes.
• Organize and secure Teaching Assistants for youth and teen classes, including outreach, scheduling, communications, assignments, and tracking.
• Help ensure coaches are on track for their private appointments, and do what you can to support them and our clients who are coming in and out for appointments.
