Sacramento Braille Transcribers, Inc. is a non-profit organization, which is passionate about producing high quality, affordable braille. Sacramento Braille Transcribers, Inc. (SBT) transcribes and produces a wide variety of projects into braille, from textbooks to menus, from newsletters to picture books for the blind.

SBT has been around for the past 63 years, but we are in an exciting phase of going digital: we recently switched to a paperless office, we now use cloud-based software and file storage, and we are in the process of creating our first website.

Even though we’ve been around for decades, we have the zest of a start-up, because we are renovating how we do business. We are looking for an Administrative Assistant who loves creating spreadsheets for tracking inventory and enjoys helping prospective customers on the phone and through email.

  • Exceptional ability to organize paperwork and files
  • Comfortable using Google products (such as Google Drive, Calendar, and Gmail)
  • Strong attention to detail, ability to prioritize, and follow through with minimal direction
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Knowledge of braille is not required, but we would love for you to have an interest in learning about the braille industry.

Virtual Tasks:

  • Reply promptly to all emails and voicemails and forward messages to pertinent individuals.
  • Schedule appointments and meetings.
  • Organize and maintain SBT’s Google Drive and Google Calendar.
  • Type reports, memos, letters and other documents.
  • Perform administrative duties as needed including filing, copying, sorting, mailing, etc..
  • Order office supplies and research new deals and suppliers.
  • Update and maintain office policies and procedures.
  • Maintain a contact list of vendors and customers.
