Receptionist/ Office Manager (5th Ave & 61st Street Midtown/UES)

Who we are looking for: we are looking for a smart and savvy individual to help us (on a full-time basis) with various key responsibilities essential to our continued expansion including: basic office work, digital marketing, writing, and research.

Hours: 4-5 days /week, 35-40 hours/week.

Who we are: We are a rapidly-growing, but small startup dental specialty practice in Manhattan (two full-time and three part-time employees) that has enjoyed remarkable success since inception eight years ago. The practice is flourishing, particularly through its presence on the web, and we are looking for an additional staff member. This individual will have the potential to grow into office manager position in 2-3 years. We are also looking to start additional satellite practices shortly; the individual in this job will become intimately involved with implementation and some planning of the necessary steps to launch an entrepreneurial business.
Job description:
The job primarily has five main responsibilities:
• office work.
• reception work.
• answering multi-line phone
• accounts receivable
• customer service
Furthermore, other lighter but crucial responsibilities will include
• Assist the practice founder with day-to-day tasks of operating a growing venture.
• Occasional bookkeeping
• Scan the web, blogosphere and online news media for relevant ways to promote the dental practice and the specialty of endodontics through the web.
• Strategically craft and write, with our help, appropriate online posts and comments.
• Seek to take advantage of search engine optimization, social media and other digital tools to ensure the dental practice gains appropriate exposure.
• Where needed, write press releases, pitch letters and other media communications, with help from practice founder.
• Independently research opportunities to promote the practice or complete other day-to-day business assignments.
• Creatively generate ideas for any of the above.

The Opportunity:
This is a great opportunity to work in a stable job environment. During business hours you will be busy helping patients/clients with their administrative needs. After a training period, you will be in a position of thinking independently and executing your thoughts. You will have an opportunity to exercise your digital media knowledge and writing skills, especially if you are interested in entrepreneurial business endeavors in the health care industry. Though the person in this role will work closely with the practice founder, s/he will also benefit greatly from a strong ability to work independently (and experience doing so).

Qualifications:
The candidate MUST have at least one year full-time experience in reception work (preferably more) or a minimum of 3 years of part-time experience in reception work. The ideal candidate has a college degree or is a graduate student with superior writing & spoken English as well as research skills. (Undergraduates in their senior year are also encouraged to apply.) We are encouraging someone who majored in English, journalism or a related field that builds similar writing excellence to apply. Positive and verifiable references are a must.

Compensation:
Salary is very competitive.

Application:
Since this job requires working independently, you need to demonstrate solid basic math & superior critical thinking skills. Furthermore, you should be able to submit three original ideas on how you plan to promote a dental specialty practice such as ours on the web.
