Job Description

Are you the kind of person who loves creating a warm, welcoming environment while keeping things running like clockwork behind the scenes? Do you thrive in fast-paced professional settings, love helping people, and take pride in being the first impression of a top-tier team?

We’re looking for a rockstar receptionist who can do more than just answer phones—you’ll be the voice and face of our law firm.

Responsibilities

• Be the face of the firm: Greet clients, vendors, and guests with warmth, professionalism, and a solution-first attitude.

• Own the phones: Answer calls with a smile in your voice, direct them appropriately, and ensure follow-ups don’t fall through the cracks.

• Keep the calendar tight: Schedule meetings and appointments, and keep the team running on time.

• Manage logistics: Handle mail, packages, deliveries, and ensure supplies are stocked and organized.

• Support operations: Tackle admin tasks like data entry, scanning, light paperwork, filing, and occasional project support.

• Coordinate community events: Help plan, schedule, and support the team in attending outreach or firm events.

• Be a culture builder: Help create an atmosphere that’s calm, focused, and friendly—for clients and colleagues alike.

Qualifications

• 1+ year of experience in a receptionist, front office, or administrative support role (law firm experience = big plus!)

• Tech-savvy and confident using Microsoft Office, Outlook, and basic office equipment

• Friendly, polished, and professional demeanor—whether on the phone, in person, or over email

• Ultra-organized, detail-oriented, and great at multitasking

• A calm and cool communicator, especially when things get busy

• High school diploma or equivalent required

Compensation

$17 - $20 an hour
