A career in management may seem like an attractive employment option, but what exactly is an administration manager?

While you may have some idea of what management entails, administrative management requires a very specific skill set and knowledge of how to operate in a business setting.

And if becoming an administration manager is your goal, it’s important to understand the job itself. What are their responsibilities? And how are they compensated? How does one become proficient in the role? 

Let’s take a closer look at training in business administration and what it takes to become an administrative manager. 

Administration Manager Job Description

An administrative office manager is the leader of all administrative duties within an office. They supervise all employees within administrative operations. 

The purpose of administration management is to help an office function more efficiently. For example, some administrative duties include:

  • Office tasks associated with supporting a business 
  • Facility management
  • Record keeping

An administrative manager ensures all office duties are completed in a timely manager – either by themselves or by the assigned team members. Additionally, they ensure that the office’s administrative support needs are met. They can also manage the various physical equipment located in their office. 

Administration Job Responsibilities  

The job responsibilities of administration managers will vary. Generally speaking, administration managers have a number of job duties and responsibilities. Some examples include: 

  • Managing an office’s administrative personnel.
  • Establishing goals.
  • Overseeing all record management.
  • Reviewing all office policies and recommending changes. An example of this could be monitoring supply inventory to change what supplies are kept. 
  • Ensuring the office’s facility remains secure while also meeting all government regulations for health and safety. 
  • Overseeing the repair of any equipment.

Administrative managers are in charge of most tasks within the company. Either the administration manager handles the task directly or delegates it to someone else. Either way, they are responsible for ensuring it’s completed. 

Furthermore, administration managers are responsible for equipping all office staff with the information and guidance they need. They’re also responsible for training any new team members as part of the on-boarding process.

Administration Manager Salary

An administration manager’s salary depends on a variety of factors. For example, some factors include the company they work for, the industry, the manager’s experience level, and the manager’s physical location.

While administrative managers have many responsibilities, they’re also compensated well for their efforts. 

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median administration manager salary is $96,180. Furthermore, the lowest 10% of administration managers earned $55,000 while the highest 10% earned $165,470. 

An administration manager’s salary will depend on the specific industry they enter. Some of the median salaries include: 

  • Finance: $104,780
  • Professional services: $104,720
  • Local government: $93,630
  • Education: $91,420 
  • Healthcare: $88,050

Administrative managers can have a promising career if they find the right position. But first, they must receive the necessary qualifications.

Admin Manager Qualifications

There are a number of qualifications an administrative manager must possess before receiving the position. These can include: 

  • A bachelor’s degree – or, in the absence of a four-year degree, a high school diploma and the appropriate job experience or training. 
  • Work experience that reflects the individual’s ability to lead a team on a day to day basis. 

Most employers also require a number of skills for administrative managers.  Administrative managers should be excellent communicators.

They speak with their direct reports as well as their superiors on a day to day basis. Therefore, they need to be able to communicate either instructions or project status. 

Moreover, administrative managers should be analytically-inclined. This will allow them to make recommendations for improvements around the office. 

Additionally, office managers are often responsible for quality assurance. This means that they’ll have the final sign-off for most office projects or deliverables. Therefore, you need to have great attention to detail. 

Above all else, administrative managers should have leadership qualities. They’ll be looked at to lead a team and make decisions at the office. They should also know how to manage workers, assign tasks, and keep their team properly motivated. 

How Can I Be A Good Admin Manager? 

Becoming a good administrative manager requires developing the appropriate skills. Whether you’re a superintendent of public affairs or an office manager in an executive part of the government, you’ll need proper skills. 

Receiving a degree from a college or university helps you learn these skills. However, there’s an opportunity for an alternative: online classes. These allow you to take classes when and where it’s convenient for you.

“When my youngest child graduated from high school, I told my husband that it was my time. I went back to school to change careers after spending 37 years in the business field. At SCI, the instructors are professional, and they care about what they are teaching you, as well as expect you to give 100% in return. I had problems understanding how to draw in syringes and give injections. I requested extra help from a knowledgeable instructor, and I was able to receive one-on-one training. Today, I draw injections for approximately 100 patients each week. I am very confident in what I’ve learned. SCI has given me the chance to do what I always wanted to do. Thank you for my education. I am doing wonderful.”
