Administrative Specialist
A remote administrative role inside a university division that includes the Peabody Institute. The listing pays $28.27 to $49.62 an hour, and it asks for someone who can run calendars, expense paperwork, and small projects without waiting to be told what comes next.
Most departments only notice their administrator when something slips: a double-booked room, a reimbursement that never arrived, a meeting with no agenda. This Administrative Specialist opening is built around preventing those slips. It is one of the more senior-leaning Remote Jobs we have seen in academic administration, and it is listed as fully remote.
If you are searching for Work from Home Administrative Jobs that pay by the hour and sit in higher education rather than a call center, read the details below before you apply.
What the Administrative Specialist role actually covers
The employer describes the Administrative Specialist as a position that calls for independent judgment, specialized knowledge, and decision-making. In practice, the duties fall into four groups.
Calendars and meetings
- Independently manage complex calendars and meeting schedules
- Prepare for meetings and presentations by gathering the information needed
- Support staff management and team meetings, including follow-up on action items
Projects and events
- Lead or contribute to recurring and ad-hoc projects
- Assist with event planning and execution as needed
- Prioritize incoming work to meet deadlines
Money and paperwork
- Process travel reimbursements, payments, and purchase orders promptly
- Handle expense reimbursements
- Compile information into reports, tables, and other documents
Office and policy
- General office management, such as space coordination and technology needs
- Provide guidance, share information with staff, and explain operating policies
- Spot administrative problems early and help resolve them
The posting also lists keeping up with department goals, standards, and policies, and performing other duties as assigned.
Requirements for this remote administrative job
- Bachelor’s degree
- Four years of progressively responsible administrative experience, including work on special projects
- Working proficiency with Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- Advanced skills in calendar management, financial administration, meeting coordination, office procedures, interpersonal skills, organization, and oral and written communication
- Intermediate report writing skills
This is not one of the Entry-Level Remote Jobs. The degree plus four years of experience puts it firmly in the experienced-administrator bracket.
Pay: what $28.27 to $49.62 an hour looks like over a year
The listing gives hourly figures only. It does not state weekly hours or benefits, so the yearly numbers below are an illustration, not an offer.
| Hourly rate | Approx. yearly at 2,080 hours |
|---|---|
| $28.27 (bottom of range) | about $58,800 |
| $38.95 (targeted) | about $81,000 |

2,080 hours equals 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Confirm the actual schedule and any benefits with the employer. The posting says pay is commensurate with experience.
Is this Work from Home job a fit for you?
Read the requirements as a pattern. Nearly every one points to coordination work where details cost real money: a missed deadline on a purchase order, a calendar conflict between busy people. Applicants who tend to stand out for this kind of Administrative Specialist job usually have:
- Experience running schedules for several people at once, not just your own
- Hands-on time with expense reports, reimbursements, or purchasing paperwork
- Examples of a project you helped drive, with a clear before and after
- Comfort writing a short report or summary that someone senior will actually read
Since the employer is a higher-education organization, experience in a university, nonprofit, or similar institutional office can help, although the listing does not require it.
Before you apply
- Confirm that your state and country are eligible. The listing says fully remote but does not spell out location rules.
- Match your resume to the exact wording: calendar management, financial administration, special projects.
- Put the four-year experience requirement near the top of your resume, with dates.
- Apply through the link below. We do not process applications on Job4Pak.
