Requirements
Coordinator of Housing Administration, Office of Residence Life - Georgetown University
The Coordinator of Housing Administration plans and directs the administrative functions of the Residence Life Department, while working closely with the Director and the Coordinator of Residence Life on a daily basis. They serve as the initial contact for all staff, students, and visitors in the Gewirz Student Center - monitoring and reconciling department cost center reports, housing deposits, and all payments for the academic year and summer housing to ensure compliance with financial procedures. As well, they are responsible for facilitating the administration of academic year assignments and billing processes.
The Coordinator also facilitates the administration of summer housing business functions - working with student staff, communicating with and reporting resident maintenance requests, managing and ordering office supplies, and answering inquiries from residents, faculty, and the general public. They maintains all records of personnel (staff), departmental reports, and all departmental files; and prepare paperwork for the work study staff members and all newly hired personnel.
Through schedule coordination among student staff, the Coordinator ensures that the Office of Residence Life is staffed 7 days a week; and serves as the on-call resources for the student staff should an issue arise during after-hours and weekend shifts. They maintain the Residence Life website, handle weekly payroll, and provide program support for the department; and create and update the Residence Life Administrative and Front Desk Procedures for the ORL Standard Operating Procedures Manual.
The Coordinator manages all off-campus housing processes, including close work with our third-party off-campus website provider; develops and maintains a thorough knowledge base of local apartment communities and serves as a presenter for all off-campus housing events on campus; and works closely with the Director in determining rate setting for on-campus housing.
Work Interactions
In a role crucial to the smooth running of the Office of Residence Life, the Coordinator of Housing Administration serves as the primary manager of the student administrative staff and the principal financial manager in the department. And while the principal role of Residence Life is to manage the on-campus resident population, the Coordinator serves a vital role as a resource for those seeking off-campus housing. As well, they are the primary contact for both Facilities Management and the Department of Public Safety.
Reporting directly to the Director of Residence Life and Student Housing, the Coordinator works daily with the Coordinator of Residence Life on a number of collaborations; and manages Housing Administration's administrative and financial aspects of Residence Life, which allows them to focus on the residents' well-being and programming that makes Gewirz a unique place to live.
