You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact. In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we’ll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.

When you join us, you will have:

The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.

You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
• Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Your Impact

You will work with professionals in a fast-paced and international environment, providing our clients and colleagues with the highest level of quality and service. You will be part of the Office Services team, where you will primarily work in reception while also supporting facilities, administrative- and financial tasks. You will receive guidance and support from the team leader, to whom you will also report.

Our reception is the first point of contact for clients, visitors, and both local and international colleagues. It is important that everyone is greeted warmly, helpfully, and professionally, always ensuring excellent service. Your responsibilities will include welcoming and assisting clients, visitors, and colleagues in a friendly and professional manner, as well as handling incoming calls, mail, deliveries, and booking requests. Additionally, you will assist with meeting room preparations, printing requests, courier services, shipping, and other ad hoc tasks, while ensuring that the reception area and meeting rooms are tidy and presentable.

When supporting Office Services, the focus is on ensuring a tidy, welcoming, and efficient workplace for our colleagues and visitors. Tasks will be practical and may vary daily based on current needs and requests. You will proactively ensure that shared office spaces are tidy and well organized, replenish office supplies, and assist with other practical and administrative tasks. Finally, you will assist with internal meetings, office events, and client visits, while taking responsibility for assigned tasks and supporting the team with various ad hoc requests.

Our office opening hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:00. Your work requires 8-16 hours per week. However, additional hours may be available from time to time, as you will be expected to provide coverage during vacations or leaves. Flexibility regarding working hours is therefore expected. This position is for 6 months, with the possibility of an extension.
