As the first person visitors, students, and guests meet upon arrival, you'll play an important role in creating a welcoming, professional experience while supporting the daily operations of our training center.

  • Sort and distribute mail; prepare outgoing mail and packages.
  • Serve as the contact person to the building maintenance department and service vendors when needed.
  • Administer a variety of administrative duties including telephone support, calendar scheduling, travel arrangements, document preparation, and general office management functions.
  • Maintain accurate registration records and enrollment data in Salesforce and internal systems
  • Coordinate event scheduling, calendar coordination, and instructor logistics
  • Keep classrooms, common areas, and event spaces organized and event-ready

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years in a front desk, administrative, events or hospitality-focused role
  • Detail-oriented with demonstrated comfort in data entry and scheduling systems
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to lift objects up to 25 lbs.
  • Strong organizational and multitasking abilities; calm in fast-moving environments
