We’re looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Receptionist/Administrative Assistant to support our Vice President of Operations and the broader team. This is a true hybrid role: you’ll be the welcoming first point of contact for the office while also taking on meaningful administrative work — coordinating travel, managing expense reports, handling legal document workflows, and supporting recruiting efforts. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and wants to build a career in corporate operations.

What You’ll Do
Administrative & Operational Support

• Manage, coordinate, and schedule internal/external meetings, travel, lodging, and transportation
• Initiate and maintain monthly Concur expense management reports
• Coordinate and circulate legal documents for execution
• Support staffing efforts — job postings, resume distribution, and interview scheduling
• Create, label, maintain, and archive filing systems as assigned

Front Office & Reception

• Answer, screen, and forward incoming calls and emails
• Welcome and guide visitors, ensuring a professional first impression
• Receive, sort, and distribute incoming mail; prepare outgoing mail and FedEx shipments
• Track incoming packages and place IT/hardware support tickets as needed
• Order office supplies and coordinate lunches for in-house meetings
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming office environment

What We’re Looking For

• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook) and Concur, or similar tools
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to multi-task and prioritize independently
• A reliable, punctual self-starter with a track record of strong attendance
• A natural problem-solver with great interpersonal skills
• Comfortable typing at least 35 WPM

Education & Experience

• Associate degree required; Bachelor’s degree preferred
• 2–5 years of relevant office experience preferred
• Valid driver’s license and reliable daily transportation required
• Must be authorized to work in the United States

Schedule & Compensation

• Full-time, salaried exempt role, 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM with a one-hour lunch
• Salary range: $55,000 – $65,000, commensurate with experience

Why Join EPRT
Be part of a growing, publicly traded REIT with a collaborative, professional culture. You’ll gain broad exposure to corporate operations, work closely with senior leadership, and build skills that open doors to future growth within the company. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health coverage, retirement savings, and paid time off.
