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.

Why Join Our Team?

This is more than a front-desk job; it is an entry point into a career in Corporate Operations. We value cross-training, professional development, and a culture where your hard work is visible every single day.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Career Growth: An opportunity to enter a job that allows you to learn new skills or use a variety of them that may lead you to uncover other career opportunities.
• Learning & Development: At SPS, we promote a work culture of learning so that you can develop to be the best at what you do.
• We Recognize Talent: We offer a variety of recognition programs for all levels of employees.
• Paid Time Off: Full time: Minimum of 80 hours/calendar year. Part time/temporary: Minimum of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked. PTO amounts may increase based on tenure and/or the assigned account. PTO allows employees to take approved time off for any reason.
• Bonuses: Are available for employee and client referrals for current employees.
• Benefit Offerings: Medical, Dental, Vision, HCFSA, DCFSA, HSA, Commuter Transit and Parking Pre-Tax Plans, Supplemental Life Insurance, Accident Insurance, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, Legal Program, Identify Theft Protection, Pet Discounts, Pet Insurance, Group Home and Auto Insurance, EAP, Short Term Disability, Life Insurance, Education Discounts, 401k w/ matching, and Entertainment Discounts.
  • Note: Please inquire with the Human Resources team for benefit offerings per role as regular positions that routinely are under 30 hours/week may have a different benefit offering.
