Position Summary

The EDS & SE Administrative Coordinator is the primary administrative resource for the department, supporting the full EDS and SE team with coordination, data management, reporting, and internal communications. This position is office-based at Divisional Headquarters and serves as a key point of contact between the department and other DHQ departments, as well as between DHQ and the field.

A central function of this role is managing the flow of information and administrative tasks across the department — submitting documents and requests into divisional systems, tracking data across multiple platforms, coordinating divisional communications to SE units and centers, and supporting seasonal programs. The Administrative Coordinator is the primary author of bulk communications sent from the department to the field, while Field Representatives remain the primary relationship contacts for SE units in their respective regions.

The position operates with a high degree of independence, is trusted with sensitive departmental information, and may provide administrative guidance to staff and the field in the Director's and Assistant Director’s absence.
