Job Description

Five Colleges, Incorporated (FCI) seeks an Operations Assistant to support some of the organization’s essential functions.

Five Colleges, Incorporated—made up of Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst—is one of the oldest and most extensive higher education consortia in the country. Founded in 1965, FCI helps its member campuses collaborate to offer a wide variety of programs and services. Within FCI, the operations unit is focused on a broad range of internal structures, procedures, and policies that support how FCI functions and serves its member campuses.

Duties

As the Operations Assistant, you will help with facility management, human resources, records management, emergency preparedness, and library services.

You could be a great fit for this position if you:
  • Are an excellent communicator—whether you’re writing how-to guides, calling a vendor to request service, inviting job applicants to interview, or communicating information to FCI staff

  • Find satisfaction in organizing information and tracking details big and small

  • Are as comfortable creating spreadsheets or updating the website as you are driving a van or pulling boxes off of shelves

  • Can shift seamlessly between unrelated tasks

  • When presented with challenges, are motivated to figure out solutions

Five Colleges, Incorporated and its five associated institutions (Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst) are committed to supporting and sustaining a diversity of people, backgrounds, experiences, ideas and points of view for the essential contribution this diversity makes to educational missions of our organizations. In support of this commitment Five Colleges requires all of its employees to work cooperatively and effectively with the diversity of people at the colleges (students, faculty members, other employees) and within the organization itself.
