What's it like to be an Administration Manager?
Administration Managers are responsible for managing complex administrative tasks and play a leadership role in business operations. They oversee the work of Administration Officers, who are sometimes assigned to one person or a whole team of people. Administration Managers coordinate a high volume of activities across a range of functions to come together seamlessly. They are well-versed in departmental procedures and policies, and look to improve job efficiency within an organisation. Their daily observations on work patterns let them spot areas for improvement, which they include in operational reports submitted straight to top management.

How to become an Administration Manager
You can work as an Administration Manager without formal qualifications, however, employers may prefer candidates with a diploma or bachelor degree.
- Complete a diploma or bachelor degree in office management or administration management. Generally, diploma courses focus on practical knowledge, while a bachelor degree also includes theoretical studies. Alternatively, a related bachelor degree in accounting, information management, business or business administration may provide relevant knowledge.
- Apply for an entry-level position as an Administrative Assistant, Office Assistant or Office Administrator to gain experience. It usually takes 2 to 5 years of relevant work experience to become an Administration Manager.
