Front Desk Coordinator and Client Service Champion - Law Firm and Co-Working Space
Looking for an Entry-Level Position with Growth Potential? Interested in Joining a Winning Team?
WE ARE seeking A front desk coordinator passionate about client service, committed to growth, and a team player
Full-Time, In-Office Position
We operate a technology-oriented law firm (intellectual property law) with a goal of providing unexpectedly great service. We also operate an innovative co-working space for lawyers called Engage Workspace for Lawyers. We are looking to add a customer-service minded individual to provide “concierge level” service to clients of both businesses.
The primary responsibilities for this position include managing typical front desk/reception duties (greeting visitors, answering telephones, managing conference rooms and café), but also include administrative and operational tasks that provide the candidate with strong opportunities to develop additional professional skills such as marketing and public relations assistance, legal administrative support, and business operation skills.
Ideal candidates will have a passion for providing exceptional customer service as well as experience in an administrative capacity.
Success for this position requires a high level of organization and attention to detail, working at a fast pace occasionally, and an engaging, service-oriented mindset. We also require someone that has a great attitude and puts others first, as that is the Firm’s first and primary core value.
As discussed below, this position includes the potential for career advancement in either business after the employee exceeds expectations in the initial role.
Core Responsibilities — Coworking space
Reception duties including answering and screening all incoming and outgoing phone calls and faxes
Opening and closing reception area by assigned office hours each day (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.)
Greet clients and guests with an immediate and sincere welcome
Maintain conference room reservations and organization
Coordinate with sub-tenants and address requests on a daily basis
Manage café and food and beverage needs
Retrieve and distribute mail daily, as well as FedEx runs and delivery acceptance
Manage and order office supplies
Provide professional and high-end service to all clients
Track and report café and office supply budgets/expenditures
Assist with events and marketing campaigns, as needed; track RSVPs; communicate with attendees
Compile weekly and monthly reports for Leadership team
Conduct tours and manage leads for the coworking office space
Publish final versions of blog posts and social media posts to designated platforms
Create Google calendar events and execute on our event processes
Core Responsibilities — Law Firm
Manage Firm’s CRM database
Phone screen leads that call into the Firm

Assist with public relations activities (booking podcast speaking opportunities, inviting people to participate in blog interviews or guest blog posts, booking other speaking opportunities)
General administrative support to the Firm
Professional Growth Opportunities
While an entry-level position, this role provides the qualified candidate with significant personal and professional growth opportunities. An employee in this role, that exceeds expectations, may qualify for an opportunity to be promoted off the Front Desk and into the Firm in an operations administrative role such as a Client Services Coordinator or some other role. Another opportunity is for the employee to take on more operational responsibilities for running the Engage Co-Working Space beyond the Front Desk. This career progression requires exceptional performance in the Front Desk role and a clear commitment to the Firm’s Core values, Mission, and Vision. We also expect the candidate to demonstrate an ability to handle the additional responsibilities of the new role before a promotion will be considered.
We view the Front Desk as a critical position for both the Engage Co-Working Space and the Firm because our Front Desk Coordinator is often the person who creates the initial impressions on clients, visitors, vendors, leads, and others that interact with both businesses. We see this role as an essential part of the team. Previous experience providing “concierge-level” service whether at a law firm, hotel, retail, or other high-touch professional services business — or at least the demonstrated ability and drive to provide that level of service — is a non-negotiable requirement for this position.
