• Visitor Management: Issue visitor passes, manage the sign-in log, and strictly adhere to the building's security protocols.
• Facilities & Admin Support: Coordinate incoming/outgoing mail, arrange couriers, and assist with general administrative duties to keep the reception area running smoothly.

What We Are Looking For

• Professional Services Experience: Ideally, you will have experience working as a receptionist within a law firm. Candidates with solid experience in other corporate or high-end professional environments (finance, banking, corporate HQ) will also be highly considered.
• Impeccable Standards: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, a highly professional presentation, and a calm, confident demeanor under pressure.
• Reliability: Outstanding punctuality and dedication to maintaining a seamless front-of-house service during core hours.
• Tech Savvy: Comfortable using modern switchboard systems, MS Office (Outlook, Word), and room booking software.
