Corporate Receptionist Job at Schechter Reed in McLean

Schechter Reed is hiring for a Corporate Receptionist on behalf of our client, a globally-recognized, leading company. This organization recently completed a significant acquisition and manages a portfolio of brands. The role is on a contact-to-hire basis.

Objective:

This role is designed for a professional who understands the nuance of running a corporate headquarters. You are the primary point of contact for visiting executives, global partners, and clients. You control the environment, ensuring it remains orderly, professional, and secure.

Location:

The client requires a candidate committed to managing the current workspace and remaining with the company through a future relocation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Visitor Management: You are the first interaction for anyone entering the building. You greet guests with professionalism while strictly enforcing security protocols. Every visitor signs in; every badge is accounted for.

• 'Switchboard' Operations: You manage incoming communications. You screen calls effectively, ensuring priority partners reach leadership while diverting unsolicited sales inquiries.

• Office Logistics: This role requires strong organizational capacity. You manage inventory for the company store, coordinate catering with external vendors, and handle complex meeting room schedules for the Infrastructure Team.

• Administrative Support: You support the business during peak times. This includes assisting with engagement events, data entry, and filing. You handle competing priorities without losing composure.

Candidate Profile:

• Operational Consistency: This is a strictly onsite role, Monday through Friday. It requires reliable attendance and punctuality. Hybrid or Remote work is not available for this position.

• Communication Skills: You must possess excellent verbal and written skills. You’re expected to interact with C-suite executives and service vendors with equal respect and clarity.

• Long-Term Commitment: The client values retention. We’re seeking a candidate who views this position as a destination, not a stopgap between career moves.
