  • Help build and manage Zoom events and help troubleshoot technical issues.
  • Coordinate virtual-event schedules and participating faculty and staff.
  • Help ensure virtual events are conducted according to standards consistent with AMDA's on-campus events.

Systems and Data
  • Serve as the Outreach Department's operational point person in Slate, helping ensure events are properly built, tracked, and closed out.
  • Work with the Records team to confirm that event data is entered accurately and on schedule.
  • Review data quality and coordinate the resolution of discrepancies.
  • Maintain event records and documentation to support continuity across teams.
  • Help ensure event and participant information is accessible to the appropriate campus partners.

Budget and Expense Administration
  • Support the administration of outreach expenses and track spending against the travel and events budget.
  • Review and verify per diems, travel advances, and reimbursements.
  • Work with Accounts Payable to support timely reconciliation and payment.
  • Help ensure event-related expenses are accurately recorded in Slate and other applicable systems.
  • Oversee credit card reconciliation for outreach-related expenses.
  • Support the timely financial closeout of each event.
  • Identify and follow up on missing or incomplete expense documentation.

Staffing, Training, and Materials
  • Schedule faculty and staff for auditions and outreach events, including sending confirmations, reminders, and updated event information.
  • Coordinate event training to help ensure representatives are prepared and aligned on institutional messaging and event expectations.
  • Support the development of recruitment materials in partnership with Media and Communications.
  • Coordinate the fulfillment, distribution, and delivery of recruitment materials as needed.
  • Help ensure event and travel teams have the materials and operational information necessary to perform their responsibilities effectively.

Qualifications:
