Job description

Are you an experienced Reception Manager or Front of House professional who thrives on creating exceptional first impressions and bringing people together? We’re looking for someone collaborative and confident to become the central hub of a growing office.

Our client, a rapidly expanding digital enterprise investment firm, has recently moved into beautifully renovated offices with panoramic views and they’re now seeking a Front of House Manager who will play a key role in shaping the experience of both visitors and the internal team.

Working as part of a close-knit team of three, you will take ownership of the reception area, lead by example, and help foster a supportive, unified environment. You’ll be the go-to person for coordinating daily activity, ensuring seamless meeting room management, supporting events, and proactively handling any issues that arise.

You will have Reception/Front of House experience with the minimum of 5+ years’ experience, ideally within the investment or wider professional services sector.

What We’re Looking For:

• A approachable communicator who brings energy and warmth to the front desk
• A natural team player who can motivate others and work collaboratively
• Someone highly organised, solutions-focused, and happy to “muck in” wherever needed
• A confident user of technology, able to navigate digital tools and systems with ease

Key Responsibilities:

• Front of House Leadership: Delivering a professional, welcoming experience for all visitors and clients
• Meeting Room Management: Overseeing bookings, layouts, and technical setups to ensure flawless meetings
• Office Support: Assisting with events, admin tasks, and day-to-day operational needs to keep the office running smoothly
• Team Collaboration: Working closely with colleagues to maintain a cohesive, supportive environment

This is a 6 month to perm role. This role does have the potential to convert to a permanent role for the right person.

The successful candidate can start in January, but the firm is also interviewing immediately available candidates now.

If you’re a proactive, welcoming, and team-focused Reception Manager looking to make an impact in a forward-thinking firm, we’d love to hear from you.
