Job description

Job Title: Receptionist

Reports To: Client Services Leadership

About the Role

As our Receptionist, you are the first point of contact and the ultimate brand ambassador. You don’t just answer phones; you curate a 5-star guest experience. Whether you’re greeting a high-level executive, managing a global switchboard, or ensuring our conference rooms are camera-ready, you are the glue that holds our professional environment together.

We are looking for a high-energy, polished professional who thrives on variety and takes pride in being the 'go-to' person for both guests and employees.

What You’ll Do

• Master of First Impressions: Greet all visitors with warmth, manage the digital guest log, and ensure security protocols (NDAs) are followed seamlessly.
• Communication Hub: Expertly route global calls and handle sensitive inquiries with absolute discretion and a business-first attitude.
• Access Control: Act as the gatekeeper for facility security, issuing badges and managing access cards with meticulous detail.
• Operational Ninja: You’re a team player who isn't afraid to jump in where needed. You’ll be cross-trained in Mail Services, Hospitality, and Facilities Support to keep the office running at peak performance.
• Event & Meeting Support: From ordering top-tier catering to setting up high-tech conference rooms, you ensure every meeting goes off without a hitch.
• Workspace Curator: Keep the reception, barista, and pantry areas looking pristine and fully stocked.

Who You Are

• Customer-Obsessed: You are driven by client satisfaction and have a no task is too small mentality.
• A Natural Professional: You possess a polished appearance, excellent English communication skills, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
• Tech-Savvy: You’re comfortable with multi-line phone systems, PC/Mac environments, MS Office, and modern office tech (scanners/copiers).
• Detail-Oriented: You notice the small things—a dying plant in the lobby, a low toner alert, or an unreturned visitor badge—and you fix them before anyone else notices.

The Requirements

• Education: High School Diploma or equivalent required.
• Experience: 1–3 years of professional experience (Reception, Concierge, or High-end Retail/Hospitality strongly preferred).
• Physical Agility: This role keeps you moving! You should be comfortable walking, standing, and occasionally lifting up to 40 lbs.
• Reliability: You are punctual and ready to own your assigned work hours.
