We are seeking an office administrator to join our team. The ideal candidate is described below. This is an in-person position at Ario Studio's office in downtown Travelers Rest, SC.

​

​

You could be a good fit for this position if:

• You are highly organized and take real pride in keeping things running smoothly.

• You communicate with warmth, clarity, and professionalism - whether you’re writing a thank-you note or following up with a vendor.

• You’re proactive and self-directed. You notice what needs to be done and do it without being asked.

• You thrive in a creative environment and feel at home around design, aesthetics, and good taste.

• You’re energized, not overwhelmed, by variety. No two days look alike here, and that appeals to you.

• You understand that great studios run on great operations, and you take that seriously.

• You’re discreet, dependable, and genuinely invested in the success of the people around you.

 

This role is not for someone who:

• Is looking for an entry-level design position. This role is not a pathway into a design role.

• Needs close supervision or highly structured direction to stay on task.

• Struggles to manage multiple priorities or switches gears poorly.

• Treats administrative work as purely transactional - this role requires thoughtfulness and care.

• Doesn’t enjoy client-facing communication or writing.

 

In this position, you can expect to do the following:

 

Purchasing & Vendor Relations

• Order materials, furnishings, and supplies from vendors for projects and for office use

• Solicit and organize quotes for furnishings, décor, and architectural products

• Draft pro-forma invoices and keep purchasing systems up to date

General Office & Client Relations

• Coordinate client gifts - flowers, curated gifts, and holiday packages from selection through delivery

• Receive, sort, and distribute mail and packages

• Maintain general office organization and supply inventory

 

​

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience in office administration, operations, or a similar support role

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and Canva

• Excellent written communication skills - you write with clarity, warmth, and attention to tone

• Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to juggle competing priorities

• Experience with CRM platforms and/or project management tools is a plus

• Familiarity with interior design, architecture, or a related creative field is a plus but is not a requirement

 

​

Compensation:

• $22–$26/hour, commensurate with experience

• 20 hours per week, part-time

Location:

In person at Ario Studio’s office in downtown Travelers Rest, SC
