administrative assistants
Clerical staff members
Administrative assistants are office workers who handle clerical and organizational tasks for executives, departments, or organizations.
The role typically includes scheduling, correspondence, filing, and general support work.
The title has largely replaced secretary in American workplaces, partly to sound more professional and partly to de-gender a historically female role: She worked as an administrative assistant at a law firm.
