Job Description

THE CLIENT

Our client is a New York-based investment firm specializing in private equity, private debt, and secondary investments across the United States and Canada. The firm offers a fast-paced, collaborative, and team-oriented environment where professionals are encouraged to take initiative, work independently, and contribute to a positive office culture. This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic organization in a front-facing role that offers variety, visibility, and room to grow.

THE ROLE

The firm is seeking a polished and personable Receptionist and Office Manager to manage front-of-house operations and ensure a seamless experience for guests, clients, and internal staff. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced setting, enjoys being the face of the firm, and has experience in private equity or alternative investments.

The Receptionist will play a key role in maintaining the firm’s professional image and supporting the smooth flow of investor meetings and daily office activity.

Key responsibilities include:

• Greeting and assisting guests, clients, and vendors with professionalism and warmth
• Managing a busy conference room calendar, including setup, breakdown, and quick turnovers between meetings
• Coordinating catering orders and maintaining kitchen and pantry supplies
• Ensuring meeting spaces are clean, well-stocked, and prepared for investor visits
• Maintaining a polished and organized front desk and reception area
• Supporting general office operations and administrative tasks
• Handling mail, deliveries, and courier services
• Partnering with internal teams to support events and office initiatives

THE CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate is well-presented, personable, and confident, with a natural ability to make others feel welcome. While prior experience in a receptionist or client-facing role is a plus, the firm is open to candidates who show strong potential, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. Experience in private equity or alternative investments is strongly preferred due to the fast-paced nature of the role and the volume of investor activity.

Key qualities include:

• Friendly, communicative, and approachable demeanor
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and remain composed under pressure
• Experience managing conference room logistics and guest-facing responsibilities
• Reliable, punctual, and professional

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Full-time, on-site role
• Core hours: 9:30am – 5:30pm
• Base salary: $75K–$100K, commensurate with experience
• Discretionary bonus
• Excellent benefits package
