It is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys creating order, following through on details, and supporting a collaborative team.

How can you make an impact?

You will be a key administrative partner to the Product Team, helping colleagues stay organized, meet deadlines, and complete core business processes accurately.

This is a hybrid position that will report to our Toronto office at least one day a week. Candidates must reside in the Toronto area and be authorized to work for any employer in Canada.

What you will be doing:

• Coordinate contracts and approvals: prepare and route documents for signature through DocuSign; track follow-ups; distribute completed agreements; maintain organized records; and coordinate business case approvals.
• Support financial administration: create purchase orders, process invoices and payments, support vendor set-up and maintenance, and help coordinate royalty set-up.
• Maintain product information: set up and update accurate product metadata in the Product Data Cloud; coordinate product catalogue and e-commerce enablement with Marketing; and support product sunsetting activities.
• Manage requests and team records: coordinate adaptation agreement requests through Smartsheet; respond to or route permissions and accessibility inquiries; and maintain clear, current documentation.
• Provide day-to-day team support: prepare recurring reports, coordinate author and customer communications, schedule and track activities, and provide general administrative assistance across the Product Team.
• Support product activities as needed: assist with market research, content review, quality assurance testing, and coordination of external freelance contributors.
• Improve processes: learn new systems, help document team workflows, and suggest practical improvements that increase consistency and efficiency.

What you bring:

• A college certificate, diploma, or bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Two or more years of administrative, operations, coordinator, or editorial support experience.
• Experience processing invoices, purchase orders, contracts, or other financial and administrative records.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize multiple requests, maintain accurate records, and meet deadlines.
• Careful attention to detail, sound judgment, and reliable follow-through.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, vendors, authors, and customers.
• Comfort working independently while supporting several team members in a collaborative environment.
• Confidence learning new systems and adapting to changing processes.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Experience with Smartsheet, DocuSign, Oracle, Salesforce, Qualtrics, or database tools is an asset.
