Course Catalog Specialist (Peabody Preparatory)

With approximately 3,400 students participating each week, Peabody Preparatory is a community school for the performing arts serving students of all ages and levels through music, dance, and related programming.

Peabody Preparatory is seeking an experienced ASAP Course Catalog Specialist (Registration System Coordinator) to provide short-term, remote support for the development and launch of our Spring and Summer course catalogs. This is a casual/as-needed position that carries no benefits.

The ideal candidate will have significant hands-on experience working with the ASAP registration system and will be able to work independently with minimal system training.
