Communications Administrative Assistant

Behind every great team is someone who keeps everything moving.

We're looking for an Administrative Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves organization, anticipates needs before they're asked, and isn't intimidated by juggling multiple priorities—or multiple personalities.

This isn't your typical administrative role. You'll serve as a trusted partner to the Chief Communications Officer and support both the Tyler ISD Communications Department and the Tyler ISD Foundation. You'll serve as a trusted strategic partner to the Chief Communications Officer, helping prioritize work, keep projects on track, and ensure the department operates efficiently.

WHAT YOU'LL DO: No two days look alike (and that's exactly how we like it.)

You'll:

• Keep calendars, meetings, and projects organized and moving forward.
• Coordinate travel, purchasing, reimbursements, invoices, and budget-related paperwork.
• Manage office supplies and department logistics.
• Help coordinate district events, Foundation meetings, and special projects.
• Follow up with team members on behalf of the Chief Communications Officer to ensure deadlines are met.
• Run meetings when needed and help keep projects accountable from start to finish.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for staff, partners, vendors, and community members.
• Handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion.
• Be willing to jump in wherever needed because communications rarely has "slow days."

WHO ARE YOU:

We're looking for someone who:

• Is exceptionally organized and detail-oriented.
• Thinks ahead and solves problems before they become problems.
• Can confidently work with people at every level of the organization.
• Is comfortable keeping multiple projects moving simultaneously.
• Communicates professionally and follows through.
• Can pivot quickly when priorities change without becoming flustered.
• Understands that flexibility isn't an occasional requirement—it's part of the job.
• Values teamwork and enjoys being the person others rely on.
• Has the Chief Communications Officer's back and takes pride in helping the department succeed.
• Maintains complete confidentiality and exercises sound judgment.

EXTRAS: If you're interested, we're happy to share our knowledge to help you grow! (This isn't required for the position.)

You'll have opportunities to learn about:

• Photography
• Videography
• Social media
• Media relations
• Press releases
• Marketing and branding
• Event planning
• School public relations

If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a communications office, this role offers a front-row seat.

WHY TYLER ISD COMMUNICATIONS:

Our team tells the stories of nearly 19,000 students, thousands of employees, and one incredible community. We're creative. We move fast. We laugh a lot. We tackle big challenges together. One minute you may be coordinating travel, the next helping prepare for a press conference, supporting a Foundation event, or celebrating student success. If you enjoy variety, thrive in a collaborative environment, and love being the person who keeps everything running smoothly, we'd love to meet you.
