In this position you will support designers by managing procurement logistics and administrative tasks, including acquiring pricing and quotes, coordinating samples and shipping, tracking product approvals, and maintaining digital archives.

• Prepare and organize specifications and archive documentation for future reference
• Maintain up-to-date supplier records and organize digital and physical materials libraries
• Generate regular status reports related to purchasing, budget tracking, and logistics
• Assist with maintaining project records and materials databases for use across multiple temple projects
• Support the Design Librarian in vendor outreach and library organization
• Be willing to learn programs such as Revit and Adobe InDesign to better support design workflows
• Contribute to furniture specification tasks for other sectors (e.g., Higher Ed or Commercial) as needed
  
  

Required Skills And Qualifications

• Strong attention to detail and organizational excellence
• Effective communication and interpersonal abilities
• Analytical thinking and comfort with data tracking and reporting
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and experience with databases or procurement software
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Previous experience in purchasing, procurement, or administrative support in a design or architecture setting
• Familiarity with Adobe InDesign, Bluebeam/PDF markups, or Revit (or willingness to learn)
• Strong time management and self-directed work habits
• Interest in long-term contribution to temple design work
  
  

Qualifications And Education Requirements

• High school diploma required; college coursework or associate’s degree in business, design, or a related field is a plus
